I went to a music analyzing class held by a movie music
composer. It was pretty awesome. He really could analyze
music, like, he had checked out lots of beatles and could
tell things about john lennon and paul mccartney. he also
showed us how delicately precise the theme from dallas is, u
know, how they made people realize whats going on before
they happen and such. someone with the interest really
should analyse some electronic music like afx or
squarepusher, cause that guy made me understand (better)
that the music nothing but reflects what the author think
and feel.
did some with my own cds and its amazing how i can sort of
make out what i though like ages ago.

i reckon i definitely get a vibe from AFX and Squarepushers
music.. not above or beyond how anyone else feels about it,
but something really special anyway.

Of course, it´s a complicated process - how we interpret
stuff... most of it based on ourselves, the listener, rather
than what the musician has put into it.

But for me,these artists, from the actually quality of the
sound they use, to the composition, the timing, speed etc i
just feel i "get" the whole thing. Most of their tracks feel
like complete entities, perfect but also dynamic and
changing. There is alsways something new to hear in an old
track. They conjure deep feelings in me, they speak to me, i
suppose. Most stuff seems crap after a good dose of SP or
AFX. Its like comparing a film like "2001" to "Armageedon" ,
comparing these guys with most stuff out there. Plus you can
dance to it!!!

Yeah!! and he showed us some chords and stuff which
basically all creature interprets as evil. its a fact that
you can change the way people think with music. even
scientifically..

I think part of the appeal of the more abstract types of
music (like we lsiten to) is that you can read whatever you
like into it- see what you like...

exactly.. as the Twin hit the nail on the head one time.....
lyrical songs, while can be brilliant, are by their nature
quite static as they promote a singualr idea or feeling
(usually) which makes them fixed and seem quite rigid
compared to non lyrical tunes which reflect oftentimes the
mood of the listener......
i´d love to see a music professor type guy, a boffin or
someone who knows their stuff technically, from ancient
greek music to thrash metal, analyse AFX and
Squarepusher........... i´d be very happy with an academic
recogniton of these great artists (not that i NEED it, just
interested)
