All sorts. Same as the next man, when I want to relax I like to listen to piano music, maybe classical; other times I want something modern and fast paced like Katy Perry or whoever is topping the charts. Although, top 40 crap tends to get very old and repetitive quickly, (assumedly why the top40 changes so often) and I still enjoy listening to Mozart even though I've listened to the same track hundreds of times.

So I don't like Radiohead, not in an angry way, but they just don't do anything for me. But I am confused about one thing.

How do their live concerts work? In twenty years they have made one or two upbeat rocky songs, so do they play them to wake people up after a ten-song combo of dreary navel-gazing? I don't get why you would pay that much money to be bored out of your skull.

Ooh interesting. What do you think of Iannis Xenakis's worth? I always thought his approach was conceptually extremely interesting but have nowhere near enough knowledge to really judge him.

>> No.2380468

>>2380453

Xenakis has kind of a weird disconnect between his methods and the sonic results. He uses pretty immensely complex mathematical processes to generate what basically amount to arbitrary pitches in a sonic mass. His procedures are definitely interesting to study, but I don't think of them as the be-all and end-all of his music; he was more interested in generating material to fill his structures. Personally I love his music for its sheer viscerality of texture and orchestration, especially his works from the late 60s/early 70s (Synaphaï, Anaktoria, Persepolis, etc.)

>> No.2380475

>>2380468

Sorry, I should add that this is only really valid in his stochastic pieces. He used a bunch of other methods that are less arbitrary too.

Well there's Anthony Braxton, who I've had the honour of performing with, and will hopefully be doing my master's with him.

This is a pretty early title, his more recent pieces have full colour titles, some in 3D, but he's used numbers as shorthand to refer to his pieces since the late 70s.

I don't think that argument is interesting. Sometimes Wittgenstein is overrated. His philosophy is a lot like Nietzsche's.

It is interesting to see the enormous SD in people's assessment of my intelligence. Some people think I'm retarded (literally or not), and others think I'm super smart. Seems unlikely that the correct estimate is just the average (wisdom of the crowds style), but lie in one of the 'camps'. I obviously think it is the latter.

You know, there is nothing contradictory about being a smart person who thinks that one is a smart person. DK is 'just' correlation, and not a correlation of either -1 or 1. Did you even read the paper? The effect is not that strong. If you actually look at the data, you can see that the people who rated themselves as the smartest were also the smartest, even if they did underrate themselves a bit. Pic related.

I used to really enjoy punk. My friend got me into it maybe 4 or 5 years ago. The list I made is my current itunes, it has gained and lost many, many bands over the years.

Thanks man :)
The best result I could think of is finding a band like The Beatles. When I found them it was amazing. The music was so, so good to me and also the history was interesting as fuck. I looked up ever single song and read about how they are were written etc. Looked up all the albums, got every single album. Watched all the interviews, films, read Johns books, Georges book. Watched A Hard days night, yellow submarine, help.

And then when I had totally raped the albums and needed a break I then got to listen to their awesome solo albums. I'm looking for that again, I know it's not really possible, it's a once in a life time thing. I sometimes wish my mind could be erased so I could listen to The Beatles for the first time again, it was just so good.

I sound like the craziest Beatles Fan haha it was just a awesome year or two i spent digging them immensely.
