hehehe, yes hold on for the boundaries will soon disappear, and you can do nothing but accept it. |

I would say more melodic for me... I can apreciate a good melody without percussions (I believe this is what you meant), but a song with alot of percussion and no melody is not really my ideal... |

To me, percussion is like the graphics in a videogame and the melody is like the fun factor. graphics arn't everything its how the game plays and if you have fun. All this 'yeah the beat is just so wicked'... is kinda pointless. it irritates me after awhile. we have this radiostation called The Beat...and its just so lame! There's more to music than 'the beat'. Melody is FAR more important that beats as far as im concerned. ratio is about (music / beat) 65:45 |

nevr mind, that's what you meant =P |

i just can't differentiate their worth. sure melody is important, but think of a song with a melody you love and take the percussion away and how much do you love the song now? and vice versa of course. |

Frank Zappa said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. I say, that would be some kinda dancing! I still want to see some modern dance troupe choreograph something to rpeg off ep7. The floors are melting, are melting, the horizons are like buttah. Somehow I like the idea that much smarter people than me, like Hofstadter, can write articles that meaningfully compare Bach counterpoint to chinese calligraphy, fractals, binary code and Escher tesselations. Me, I'm too toopid. |

my dad has it, but i could never be bothered to read that book. it's a fascinating concept and all, but i already know that everything is infinitely interconnected to everything and so of course there will be overlap between escher and bach and whoever that mathmatician is. it's like what max's math guru (from the film pi) said about 213 "pretty soon you'll find it everwhere." infinite interconnectedness. i appreciate that folks like hofstadter are getting into the thick of it, but i can't go that route. |

fleetmouse: yeah i study music. it doesnt kill anything to analyze music. if anything, i enjoy it more. but its not for everyone, and I can see why it would bother them. but hey, whatever makes people happy. if someones joy is to just listen, so be it. if its someones joy to analyze it all, who am I, or anyone, to say that he is wrong, and shouldnt do it/enjoy it. however, one thing that bothers me, is when people listen to music and tell me the chords and scale the melody is played on etc. maybe because i cant do it... but mainly i just find it fucking annoying, cause they arnt listening to the emotion, they are listening to theory. i always listen subjectivly, but when i want to, i become objective and observant. |

*oh, and about practicing i dont ever practice my bass in fact i hate playing i just like to write music and do synthesis im not a performer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that makes perfect sense to me, from what i know of you on this board anyhow |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
how so? |

Is it alright for a composer to not be able to play anything? Say you did lots of great works but couldn't play for your life, is that allowed in music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, i couldn't point out anything specific, it just seems to fit. of course this is based off of my limited exposure to your textual self. |
||||||||
|

|
|
who said i cant play? i just said i didnt like to. but i am learning piano. and i find it much more enjoyable. so maybe i just had the wrong instrument all along |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i need to learn piano |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as in im on here so much, it would seem that i never practice... or, where you refering to the fact that im a composer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*and i used to play drums for 4 years. |
||||||||
|

composer. i really am not basing it off of any direct idea i have about you. i just read it, and it sounded right is all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah :) |
||||||||
|
|

if you would have said you were a total freeform guitarist who likes to solo i might have been confused. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the first assumption would have been just as justified :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
do you have music available? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheheh nope. im a semi-reclusive that likes to sit in the dark of his room, write electronic music. (and various other kinds... but electronic is closest to my heart) |
||||||||

It's a neat book! When I first got it I spent weeks working through his little proof-of-concept logical exercises and trying to wrap my head around Godel's incompleteness theorem etc. Eventually though it got to be too much and I just skipped to the good parts like the Zen koans and shit. |

ah, nope was in reply to being a guitarist. :) |
