"Vorzel....".. don't go there dude. Just let it slide.
Incidentally, Trent Reznor is a highly intelligent artist that still makes amazing music both under the banner of NIN as well as sountracks. You all need to check out the soundtrack to Gone Girl -- especially what they did for the death scene where Rosamund Pike kills the Neil Patrick Harris character. Once of the most innovative uses of modular synth combined with visual ever created IMNSHO!

true. the sountrack was much better than the film. i am finding most soundtracks are actually better than the films these days.Mushy Mushy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 6:09 pmDidn’t make up for the incredibly sh!te film though.telecode wrote: ↑Sun Dec 15, 2019 6:08 pm"Vorzel....".. don't go there dude.

You aren’t moving music forward in a vacuum, in reality you are standing on all kind of people’s back and repeating history. NB: This ’you’ works as the universal you, anyone saying this kind of nonsense. You in the particular just show a kind of contempt and the typical willingness to posture. So bold, so missing the point. Dunning-Kruger rules ok. I’ve heard your music, forward-looking? That through itself wouldn’t be a point for judgement, but the pretense there only showed us an ahistorical bent. Were we supposed to be impressed? A silliness.

whether you agree or not my asking to stay on topic and lay off the attacks is pertinent to the topic. There is no need for itjancivil wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 5:08 pmIs this post pertinent to the topic?
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.

So what? That is of less than no interest to me and of no consequence whatsoever to anything I do, in any part of my life. Synthesisers could have been invented by Hitler for all the difference it makes.
Clearly that's not true, else you wouldn't have bothered to reply.Nobody cares whether things impress you or not.
And here you demonstrate intentional boneheadedness.[/quote]
Quite the opposite, I made myself quite clear, yet the bonehead I had responded to still didn't get it, which further reinforced my point.
I don't think I'm moving music forward at all but I am interested in what comes next. OTOH, I have less than no interest in how we got to where we are today. It just doesn't matter.
All that is self-evident but knowing the details doesn't make a blind bit of difference to anything, it's totally irrelevant. And yes, I am contemptuous of those who think it does matter, even slightly. Punk swept it all away and it is best forgotten, confined to the dust bins of history.You in the particular just show a kind of contempt and the typical willingness to posture.
Apparently it does among you idiots. Honestly, you seem to have no grasp of what matters, like you don't even have real interest in music at all, just in the excrutiatingly irrelevant minutae around it.So bold, so missing the point. Dunning-Kruger rules ok.
Our music is what it is. There is no cynical, preconceived notion of what it should be, it is nothing more than an expression of what was in our collective head at the particular time that it was created. It would be more than a little pretentious to think it was anything more. I look to the future to work out what might influence what I/we do next.I’ve heard your music, forward-looking?

I went through a phase of it in my early 20s, where I was really into electronic music.fese wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 9:57 am I never listened to “synthesizer music”. Most of it feels cold and lifeless to me, also I prefer songs over sounds. I have nothing against synths (some of my best friends are synths!), but more as another color in a song arrangement, not complete tracks made only with synths...
Now, I mostly prefer listening to acoustic instruments; be they real or sampled. There're these human elements to "real instruments" unto themselves which synths will never be able to replicate.
The main thing with synths I find is that the most "interesting" sounds are the least-musical, but the most-musical ones are the least-interesting and cheesy-sounding.
But I think I'll always have a soft spot for those 90s keyboard-patch type sounds and synth solos alongside acoustic instruments and orchestras like in Yanni's music.
