There are people who listen to music and trying to understand what the song mean i find a lot of people are like that, but there are also some people i find that is like me , we listen to pattern some are energetic uplifting, some are sad, some are fun, etc. Hmmm this question make me wonder more i need to look up why in war certain culture use drums or music. Interesting indeed.

There is something very mysterious about music. If something is off key or detuned, you will spot it even if your not a musician. This is different from going off key in a masterful way, it creates a tension, and the resulting resolve can be very satisfying. This is true even in simple diatonic theory, if your at the V, you instinctively want to I, maybe with a short detour within the time signature. Sophisticated harmonies can be an acquired taste, in contrast rhythmic passages seem to have a universal appeal.

This'll release in August. Just casually leaving it here.

I'm not Korean, but I once listened to this endlessly, so that I could learn how to sing it impeccably, and yes it was to impress a girl:


I wish I could say something noble about the appreciation of music and all that, but honestly, sometimes it's just a biological imperative at work.

Did it work?

I read an interesting analysis once. In the Bible it says "In the beginning was the word...". "Word" basically means "vibration", which produces sound. So what this Bible verse is essentially saying is that sound (like the cosmic "Aum") is the primary and most primal aspect of the manifested/created universe. It is thus that, of all of our 5 senses, through sound in general and music in particular we are able to be stirred, inspired and affected to the deepest reaches of our being. If this isn't a noble pursuit I don't know what is.

Funnily enough, that's not really true. There was a study conducted with some native tribes, where they were played chords on a guitar and they did not care either way, harmonic or disharmonic. It's a culturally learned thing.

Lots of music for me to try.. from a somewhat unfamiliar genre group too, and also to be listened in a totally different way to how I normally listen to music.. I can't wait to 'escape' to a different dimension

This is a great way to keep the hobby fun and alive without having to spend on newer and newer gears.. LOL

Add this one to your list.


I am an avid electronic music listener for the last 13 years or so, and it’s one of the best albums I have found regardless of genre recently.

Dammit, there goes my attempt at playing nice to the tone deaf

To me that means that there is no right or wrong way to make music, inherently.

Of course your right, beauty is in the ... and all that sort of thing.
I honestly envy the EDM folks, massive tribe in these times.

edit:

for the love of rhythm

Whether it is nurture or genetic aside,
two examples.
Monk and Gismonti

Monk uses discord partly as a rythmic accent or punctuation to me where Gismonti uses discord to build tension which is released into a beautiful melody. I am sure there are more examples though both of these composers are quite successful and I get the feeling this is how they interpret the world and I have enjoyed immensely hearing/living in, the worlds they created.

A modern master would be Alan Holdsworth. Absolutely alien, yet beautiful.

Man, that was soooo long ago! Almost thirty years ago!

I'm going to vibrate tonight when I'm alone.
