Under EU law, after enjoying a piece of music, you are entitled to a 14 day “cooling off” period during which you can decide that you didn’t enjoy the music.
I don’t know but it’s probably one of those things where the process is more the point than the outcome. So just have fun experimenting!
Roasted the eggplants rather than frying so it’s healthier, which is important when you’re trying to run a tape reserve

This is a good thing I think, as radical music is available to basically everyone (even though most people don’t want it (or maybe don’t know they want it yet)).
Often the avant-garde things are the most exclusive and expensive. Like if you want to go to a restaurant where a chef makes “cotton candy” out of foamed tunafish, that will cost more than McDonalds. But it’s the opposite with music, where an experimental concert costs 20x less than 60 year old rock
Late to the party on this one, but holy heck this rips.

Just a little update that my DMs are now open to crypto scams.
Everything will continue in the same way forever, though we won’t be there to experience it.
There’s no way around that, is there? So much for artistic freedom.
Ending on a drum solo promises that new forms will emerge. Noise freakout endings suggest that if we work together we can fuck shit up in a way that’s fun and who knows what will happen. Motorik grooves imply communal action towards tangible goals. Dog bark keyboard sounds warn of those dog robots.
Songs ending with guitar solos reinforce the myth that the special individual will save us. Synth solos, that tech will save us. Saxophone solo outros suggest we are doomed but still kinda sexy. Ending with field samples of birds obviously implies a future where humans are ruled by avian overlords.
It's just one story, one illustration of all the terrible things that have happened. It's been a week since the very great noise/drone artist Siavash Amini posted this, from where he lives Tehran. There has been no update since. It could be for any number of reasons. We just don't know.
The truth is, we don’t know what multi-band compression or linear phase eq do to people long term. There’s no information! So that’s why my kids only listen to unmastered music. It just feels safer that way.
Each time you accidentally lock yourself out of your home, you gain the capacity to create one additional album that you otherwise wouldn’t have.
Wow! Did The Bee Atlas include wasps? If so, that’s like a music industry cheat code and explains the band’s rapid rise to success.
The pre-spell-check music scene was wild
I understand that The Beatles [sic] are very influential and widely beloved, but for me, having a spelling mistake in the band name is disqualifying. If they won’t even have the name copy-edited, that raises serious quality-control questions about the music. I prefer a more professional approach.
If that seems inconvenient or impractical, let’s remember that music itself is 40,000 years old and our small act of patience or delayed gratification is almost nothing on such a scale.
When composing/improvising music, the decisions you make should be informed by a long-term outlook. Rather than considering eg how playing a 7th chord on a piano might affect listeners now or this business quarter, perhaps integrate that decision into a 5- or 25-year-plan for where music should go.
A music performance where the artist doesn’t produce any sounds, but instead mimes sounds using gestures and expressions. The audience has to guess the sounds, producing them in any way they can. When the artist confirms a sound has been guessed correctly, they move to the next sound in the piece.
Fair point. Obviously they are shitty people and of course that affects how I hear the music. I think it’s possible to enjoy music specifically because it’s grotesque (KR) or dull (VM), but I’m also not good at separating art from artist, so you got me on this one.
The reason you hear more reverb in music nowadays is cost savings. Rather than loading up the frequency spectrum with relatively expensive solid sounds, a dreampop artist, for example, will shave a good bit off the budget by filling it with a sense of empty space. So basically, they’re selling air!
When you’re first getting into music listening, it might seem intuitive to start with short songs, but this is a bad idea. Because your ears are unaccustomed to music, the song will be over before you’ve figured out what’s going on. In the 1st year, anything under 12 minutes will be a waste of time.
Because it’s music and we’re people. Take a look around. It’s 100% more likely that we’re the thing that sucks.
If you believe in yourself, you can like ANY music
When we hear a piece of music we don’t like, this is an opportunity to explore what it is within us that’s denying that enjoyment, and then to work on that, to help facilitate more overall enjoyment.
