Is music just an elaborate arpeggio?

Chords, scales, harmony, melody, etc.

It just trolls so many kinds of people with so little effort

Ahem....that sounds very American accented to me. Vocals are not quite right. Sounds like an American who try to speak scandinavian but does not get deep enough into our throaty tone and rounded vocals. It is too nasal. But fine idea.

An eye for an eye on the internet? Which eye did you exactly take out?
Oh. Are you back to shit your pants in public once more and then pretend the smell comes from elsewhere? Good luck with that, radiohead :hihi:

And the other flute jazz one proved he hasn't used the radio since Reagan was president. If the music has a beat and groves ... It sounds shit to him. God help his collaborator if he were to ever find one.

Well, well, well. Seems like the answer to my question above was a clear YES. :lol

About the musical taste thing, is that the taste for ass shaker modernists you are referring to here?

Post

Yeah, I wasn't looking to the radio for music more recently than the early 70s, shame on me for not being a f**king child with no discernment or musical curiosity more than that. I did use to listen to Hearts of Space but I can't even place when, 80s, 90s.
I would like to talk on a bit more elevated a plane, but I keep seeing you quoted and I'm not going to take shit off of you. You know jack shit about the topic or music at all. You told us where you were located the first time you talked utter bullshit in a Hosts thread. Where do you get off with such attitude?

I wouldn't want to be someone, you, you fatuous, dull Dunning-Kruger poster child thinks is smart, that's for sure.

As I pointed out more than once, since you can't address a point at all, you fabricate a story to dismiss. You're always going to win an argument against your own dull straw.man. It has yet to resemble my actual thoughts at all, and this is yet another sign of your abject failure to argue like an adult or like something in the remote vicinity of intellectual rigor or honesty; or intellect at all really since you, no exaggeration, type like your development was arrested at 15. This is as good as you got with insults, sure it is.



I'm not a he btw. You don't care who you're talking to or what their actual points are, of course.
How would you know who I will have collaborated with? When people talk about you in rave reviews you can get back to us. It'll never happen. You'll do as well as you've done with the quality here. You'll continue to draw one view in two days with a hilariously moronic thread title like 'A modern producer take on modernity' essentially.

You're the same idiot we always find emboldened by the internet comment box, someone doesn't buy your nonsense and they're the idiot, they're whatever you decide to pull out your assmouth so as to diminish them in your stupid desperation.

"I came out on top because..."

The analogy of a pigeon shitting on the chess board and knocking the pieces off then strutting away victorious was never more apt.
Dunning_Kruger_Effect. You can't even grasp the questions on the test because your reading comprehension isn't up to it but because you think you're on top you're sure you aced it. The actual results won't faze you in the least.

"He proved he's just as much an idiot as me."
How so? You can say whatever, but again, as seen repeatedly you don't seem to quite grasp that an assertion is not an argument. If you're going to say 'proved' you have to show it otherwise you make an idiot out of yourself for all to see.
But you're basically like a donald trump, you have no self-awareness or knowledge, information-poor and willfully ignorant, and thus no shame, no worries at all.
You're delusional if you think you're even remotely up to snuff in a simple argument or part of one.


"the other flute jazz one" with the fantastic latin groove. Yeah, you really know music don't you.
Nah, what you did was click on it to gather some little factoid for the shit talking; rather than be the f**k honest about anything this is how you operate. What a fraudulent, impoverished (self-imposed is what's sad) way to be, seriously.

:hihi:

There was a moment there where I wondered if engaging that shit was really such a good idea, but upon reflection I think I prefer to know what's really there once you scratch the surface a little.

:clap:
Is that a fact.
It was put to you that all you have is your subjective you to operate from and you go to prove it as though beyond a scintilla of doubt. And as though to perfectly illustrate the D-K Effect. This is a winning argument!
What a display. :phew:

even nickelback?
Nickelback is more of a wine cooler.
i was thinking more "the piss in the bottle you do when youre at a festival watching your favourite band and don't want to leave the crowd"
Hopefully keeping it to be able to throw it at the stage later when Nickelback play their set.
Sweet child in time...

But, I suggested that melody was very close to arpeggiation, but less cyclical and more free. As it turns out, I feel like I was more correct about this than I realised at the time.

But then, the way that 4 part harmony shares the notes of a chord among instruments and the way that the instruments even alternate, almost cycling but not quite, is pretty close to arpeggiation, from my perspective. Thoughts?
A really intriguing idea that all melody would be close to arpeggiation. Worth thinking about it.

Post

It's a stoned epiphany. :shrug:
Since 'arpeggio' means 'a chord broken into its parts to sound a note at a time' and melody definitely exists outside of chords altogether (and predates the existence of the very idea of a chord by an entire epoch), it kind of is just a non-starter.
