To what music are you listening right now?

[Musopticon?]

Does it start with a speeding heart pulse, and then a drum intro? If so; it's Chaos AD.

[Judge Hades]

Okay, I should probably rename it.

 

Oh, Suicide is Painless cover from Marylin Manson.

[Baley]

Chaos AD? oh my,that's the album Sepultura went shit.

I kind of like it. Its better than some songs that are out there. Faith Hill sucks compared to them.

[Baley]

Wait a second,you're comparing a DM band to a country singer?

 

Anyway Chaos BC is a Refuse/Resist remix if I remember right.

[Judge Hades]

Music is music. I either like it or I do not. Genre is irrelevant.

 

Oh, Dead Girl Superstar, Rob Zombie.

Have you ever had concrete use for this kind of knowledge? I'm asking this seriously, as I suspect such knowledge would be more of an obstacle than a tool when composing music.

[Darth Drabek]

I listened to Cake's Motorcade of Generosity album twice yesterday. I like it much more than their recent effort, Pressure Chief. They are just starting to get their sound together and you can tell they're just loving it.

 

Especially "Jolene."

It depends on what kind of music you want to compose. It is incredibly easy to compose music if you follow the rules though. Classical/Jazz/Blues/Western "Pop" music and many other genres all use this. If you are doing improvisation then it is incredibly useful also. You can also just say "screw this" and just not follow the rules of music theory and play what you think sounds good. I do both myself. The average person wouldn't really tell the difference. I don't know if I answered your question, or If I have forgotten to mention anything.

 

Anyone else have any question they would like answered on the topic of music?

[Darth_Schmarth]

I know the basics, meaning I instinctively know things like G major followed by E minor sounding more natural than if it is followed by E major. But if you have deeper knowledge, such as diminished chords in a major key, I'm not entirely sure if that helps or hurts. I suppose you're right, though, that it is useful and something you can try, and if it doesn't work, change it.

Yeah, I guess what I'm trying to say is what it really comes down to is what kind of music you want to compose. The only real reason this stuff is around is because back in the middle ages and then in the 15th century to the 19th century (Just a rough estimate.) you had to follow these rules or else you weren't composing music. Certain intervals and keys were even thought to be "the Devils music". So a lot of this stuff is a guide when composing music, and it is still used a lot because of how easy it is to make a song following these rules. But really it isn't something you need to know really. I really only use it when I get together with a group of people and we just improve.
