I haven't said anything about god just to save this thread from the claws of HPC. But it should have been in HPC right from the start, anyway, as it seems to be a fun thread and obviously wasn't meant to be serious.

Well, a thread making extraordinary claims about A=432hz goes there but quick, and the same implication is here, if not at once but we see where the OP was really coming from; such as your link re Chakras, Tricky, would likely get a reaction out of Meffy if no one else.

I dunno, I think it's been interesting because it broaches the subject of perception in music as well...as far as the religious stuff, that doesn't matter until someone else decides to come along and argue...remember it takes moe than one person to argue, just let it roll off your back and move on (if this forum had a mod it just be split off and be done with).

Back to the former though, I do see things in my own warped way and it's interesting to read threads like this because we can all look at the same view but see it from different angles. I did write a song (The Whisper which was on the Katrina relief CD) that I used Dm for just to try and get the emotional response commonly associated with with Dm. (I even tuned my guitar to Dm) It actually did indeed get the feel I wanted but that is how I perceived it which undoubtedly was skewed by my own personal involvement with the song. In other words it sounded that way to me because that's how I wrote it.

When it comes to music theory there is so much that is definitive and needs to be that way...it's nice to talk about the abstract part which imho is a key part of music as well...so I guess what I am saying is a fun thread can be very informative too for som. :)
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Blaming me for everything is what you've always done. My link was about the link between MUSICAL notes and Chakras and it was absolutely conform to the subject of this thread.

But I won't respond to any of your posts anymore!

I'm not blaming you for anything at all here! What would I be blaming you for? (I would tend to hold a person responsible for their own remarks if you want to rehash history. Way to make something about you, though.) That link simply illustrates how this would, under Meffy, seem to be tracking to HPC. My take on where it would go was accurate enough.

Everything Else Music Related, maybe?

is pretty much like the claims for A=432 tuning. just saying. it isn't up to me, I don't care, a whole lot of stuff takes up space here. I have a sarcastic attitude about this thread, so what.

Try meditation, could make this easier for you. :)

Here's the thing.....
Hink you think this thread is a joke

IRL I've known quite a number of new musicians who can recite theory and for all the want in the world there is no passion in there playing. My heart goes out to them because I understand that at least for me music is about personal expression. When they to autochord their way through life they are dually frustrated with the lack of emotive qualities because they believe that it is wholly supplied by automation and frustrated in their own performance simply because they have no sense of intimacy with their instrument. They have an "Ic can't do that I'll run away" ideology as opposed to...I might not be able to do something now but if I apply myself I could do it later and get better in the process of applying myself.

I'm not against technology in fact I'm an advocate of it. However, I do see where the illusion of the ghost in the machine will somehow find a direct neural connection to the content creator is greatly misguided. Theory doesn't solve all. Theory is part of the equation and interpretation through performance is the other part. Generally speaking those that have the greater mastery of their instrument in the expressive control through performance not automation are the ones that bring music to life and play to their full potential.

That has to be a typographical error. EDIT: or posted in the wrong thread.

I think the notion of a direct correspondence of a particular chord in itself with a particular extramusical phenomenon is strange; and here we had whole lists, illustrating an absurdity which is funny to me and evidently others with a similar sense of humor.

You look at a chord 'in itself'; is it going to be voiced this one way every time? Is the 'color' of the orchestration just this one thing all the time? Are all of the notes in it always the same level in relationship, are they all struck at once, or is it the same broken chord with the same rhythm? To define a chord this narrowly, which I think you have to do to make a correspondence with another thing, doesn't work, does it.

Particulary as per texture, the weight of voicing and the instruments playing it: how is it one color? This chord/this key, means 'this emotion'. D minor is the saddest key. It's ridiculous.

I don't know from synasthesia from any experience. I took a lot of acid as a teen and I saw a lot of colors and other visual stuff move with music. I don't come away from it with 'Bb = blue' particularly, but synasthesia? I can't say someone doesn't have that go on.

As a topic in music theory, well, it's a red herring, talking about it isn't going to move you forward at all I don't think. Sorry if this burst anyone's bubble, don't mind me or my opinion, at the end of the day we can disengage.

One just needs to look at the replies of the OP that this thread would have gone to HPC much earlier... :wink:

Jesus. I tuned out of that person's posts before that happened. If someone engaged that, yes, you'd think it gets moved.

When John Coltrane wrote Giant Steps 'in B' a lot of horn players [their instruments built for Bb or Eb] liked to say 'that's a hillbilly key'.
