I agree, let's see if you do...

Just so you know, grtwhygrvty, I won't be wasting any more time talking to you in this thread. I've said what I wanted to say and I have way too much to do. I may be called Trollheart but I don't enjoy talking to trolls, so find your entertainment elsewhere. If you think you'll be able to bait me like you did with CN, it won't work. I'm not interested. Bored? Go bother someone else, kid. I'm done.

Anyway, here's some electronic business that I think takes way more skill than any Filter song.

I actually listened to that in the PM you sent me. I thought it was really interesting, but I also found myself admiring how it was put together. It's not typical electronic music, it's unique.

That's the thing. There's no such thing as typical electronic music. It's the most diverse style of music that there is.

Why do you think it's the most diverse? What you can do with it, the lack of limitations?

**Frownland** · 04-22-2015, 11:04 AM

^Pretty much. The only qualification that you need to be electronic music is for there to be non-organic instruments implemented in the music. It's like saying guitar music.

That's pretty much the idea we've been trying to relate to you that all electronic music isn't dubstep or house music. It's such a wide umbrella term that it can encompass pretty much anything. I think Tim Hecker's another good example of a unique electronic artist with his focus on timbre and such.

Thoughts on any of those other tracks?

Well, what you've shown me isn't what I typically have heard. So there's one thing grtwhtgrvty was correct on; I haven't heard much of it or really any of what you sent me, at all, not until now.

I think I listened to the Tim Hecker's track too. That one stuck with me pretty good, actually had it stuck in my head at work. So in short. I liked it. I still need to listen to the others you sent.

And I see you edited your post Frownland. I see why you say it, too.

Or any instrument or sound. I can punch the wall and record myself punching the wall and, through sound design, make an entire track with that single sound and effects, including dynamic melodies.

You can make a piano sound like a drum. You can make a guitar playing C3 sound like it played D4.

FKA twigs made 90% of her synths out of a single hi hat in LP1

That's where the term "Musique concrete" came from. It's pretty much taking sounds, and through audio engineering, turning them into other sounds.

Or in Holly Herndon's case, "Net concrete", in which she recorded her internet browsing and turned it into music

something disgusting like 60% of popular music probably uses these chords in this order or with very slight variation

Yea, hence the Axis of awesome 4 chords song.

To my surprise, one of my fav songs uses that chord progression but i think they used it well.

Does that "real" mean that people don't consider the flute a real instrument? It's as underused as the accordion.

Mondo Bungle · 04-23-2015, 04:44 PM

A lot of people talk about the flute, but have you ever actually seen one?
