11.23.19 | No idea, but it's VERY good holy shit. :o |

11.23.19 | Sweet. I always thought those gals were unappreciated. That Ep is a gem < 3 |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | I will monitor this thread and try to help and also learn. Welcome, friends. |
Sinternet
11.23.19 | if there's anything people can't work out i see my music theory professor once a week during term so anything super difficult i might ask him about |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | I have some videos about theory and composition of my own songs, if y'all are into just watching shit like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LArgJwyp0qE |

11.23.19 | Foot-in-the-door comment imma browse through this in the soon |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | I've had a few beers and should not have listened to that song in the OP, what the fuck |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.23.19 | Quick question though while it's on my brain: what's the technical term for a single legato phrasing (say, for an extended multinote slide on guitar or a seamless single-breath arpeggio on a woodwind instrument)? |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | Are you referring to a glissando? |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.23.19 | Oh DUH yes of course I am sorry dumb question. Difference being that in glissando is that only the start and end pitches are considered notes and in legato every pitch is individually distinct as a note, right? |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | the word "slide" is what tips it off |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.23.19 | When I'm sad
I slide |

11.23.19 | I am very, very bad with time signatures. If it's not 4/4, 3/4, or 6/8, I usually have a lot of trouble figuring it out.
That said, WTF time signature is this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-iBPUjXAns |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | I'm counting in 3s in the beginning, but that's all I've got. As someone that started music on drums, I never took lessons, and never learned sigs. |
GhandhiLion
11.23.19 | yeah the main part starting 20 seconds in is in 3s. 3/4 waltz? |
budgie
11.23.19 | how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | I don't trust that owl. |
ArsMoriendi
11.23.19 | What time signature is this song in? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLWvj6VyYGg |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | Sounds like ?/why, but I could be wrong. |
Tyler.
11.23.19 | nah its in 15/5.6 |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | oh |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.23.19 | Think I counted 2 bars of 3 and 2 of 4 in the opening but hmm I don't trust that. It's the kinda rhythm you could write out quite easily tho |

Josh D.
11.23.19 | Thanks to whoever actually watched my video. |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | I just googled Gentle Giant stuff, so it seems like you can find answers through there. I'm not trying to count that shit, I had my first beer at the company chili cook off at 10:30, so...not happening. |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.23.19 | Drunk music Josh is my jam |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.23.19 | You have such a early-mid evening DJ voice |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | I don't sleep well, so I always sound tired. Also I talk quietly on those videos because I live in small apartments. But thanks, I will narrate stuff for reasonable prices. |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.23.19 | What are your rates
I the illusionary shifting tempo thing you do with velocity, that's fun. Still haven't gone far beyond using velocity as a way to make instruments sound less artificial lol
Oh shit yeah there's a celeste we're talking the right kinda midi here |
Josh D.
11.23.19 | Well something I realized later is when I add the 7th and 8th notes in that ostinato, I stopped going high-low, because from 6-7-8 it descends for both. But still, that sort of auditory illusion is my favorite part of that song. |
ramon.
11.24.19 | If bon iver neglects to play f major while running through chord shapes in the key of c, does he become boner??? |

11.24.19 | A well intentioned list but I’m afraid nobody here knows any music theory nor do they listen to very much music |
DoofDoof
11.24.19 | What happened to Beck? |
dedex
11.24.19 | I know no music theory so I'll just lurk and learn |
HoopyFrood
11.24.19 | i dont believe in music theory because all music comes from jesus. that's why it's called music theory and not music fact. |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.24.19 | That's because the existence of music hasn't been proven yet you lemon |
HoopyFrood
11.24.19 | you're right, you sweet sweet pomegranate. |
ArsMoriendi
11.24.19 | "I’m afraid nobody here knows any music theory nor do they listen to very much music"
That's kinda surprising, given that this is a music-centric site, you'd think there'd be more music theorist types lurking here. Are we all posers? What a revelation! Fuck... |

Well, first of all, through God all things are possible, so jot that down. |
Pikazilla
11.24.19 | i think we should start at the very beginning
what is music |
Pikazilla
11.24.19 | why does it exist |
Pikazilla
11.24.19 | and why is it more divisive than brexit |
budgie
11.24.19 | and why does it taste like jelly |
Sinternet
11.24.19 | because it jams ahrd m/ |

11.24.19 | "Right-o," said the old man with another nod. "Now listen up, son. I'm tellin' this to you and you alone: The world ahead of us is goin' t' be sound-free."
"Sound-free?" I blurted out.
"Yessir. Completely sound-free. That's because sound is of no use to human evolution. In fact, it gets in the way. So we're going t'wipe sound out, morning to night."
"Hmph. You're saying there'll be no more birds singing or brooks bubbling. No music?"
"'Course not."
"It's going to be a pretty bleak world, if you ask me."
"Don't blame me. That's evolution. Evolution's always hard. Hard and bleak. No such thing as happy evolution," said the old man. |

11.25.19 | does harmonic minor scale always sound wanky or just with melodeath? |
Tyler.
11.25.19 | ....no |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.25.19 | Harmonic minor can be dope but yeah when it's just played as a scale run it's kinda lame
Fun fact it's enharmonically the same as the phrygian dominant |

11.25.19 | is it moral to play locrian solos at a 9 year old's birthday party |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.25.19 | Yes if they need to learn how to live life without a conventional dominant otherwise known as living parent!
Yes if Bjork jam
No if choral

11.25.19 | Go make a Tool album ! |
ArsMoriendi
11.26.19 | Tool is boring
Question: do you guys tend to prefer music in major keys or minor keys? |
Josh D.
11.26.19 | When I write on piano, I tend to do minor. On guitar, I tend to go major. No real reason other than just how the sound of each appeals to me. |
ArsMoriendi
12.24.19 | Only re-bumping this because I was looking for that awesome song Ghandi linked here and wow it's still amazing |
