Are you a composer or a technoid?

So, Whyterabbit, when did it become a "mistake" to agree with somebody else's statement?
Can't you read or something. jens described it as a mistake, I just agreed with him.
Let Lunatique and Jens have their own opinions, just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they should shut up.
But I did agree with jens. It was a mistake. Now point out where I told anyone to shut up.
Oh wait, I didnt. Now thats a dirty trick putting words in my mouth.
You need a life, my friend.
Ive got one. And I dont need to tell people how they're not proper musicians or composers, or how important melody should be, or whatever, to validate it.
So, ummm, y'know; go get one yourself. Maybe some basic reading comprehension will help you enjoy it.

it was jens' mistake agreeing with Lunatique or you agreeing with jens was a mistake or did you mean to agree with Lunatique but made a mistake and mistakenly agreed with Jens or am I mistaken?whyterabbyt wrote:

Actually, I don't believe I have told people how to compose or what their music should be like. What I have done is stated my opinion (but yeah, I know you hate it when people do that) about most modern electronic music - I think melody is the most important element in a song, and I don't think it is right to just drop loops into a sequencer and then call it your own music. I don't. I am not forcing that opinion on anyone else, just stating what I personally think.
As for the "shut up" bit, no you haven't explicitly told anybody to shut up, I'll grant you that. But instead of "discussing" or "answering" posts, you attack and ferociously dissect what other people write. And to me that just smacks of "I want to be king of the sandpit"-syndrome.
Actually I have a life too. But unlike yours (it seems, sorry if I am wrong), mine primarily takes place outside of this forum, you know, in the real world.

yes, but what I meant was that it was a mistake not based on the content of what I agreed with but based on that I replied in this thread before I realized that you've already turned up in it as well and that you were disagreeing with what I agreed with.whyterabbyt wrote:tranel quoth

So it was merely a formal mistake.
It seems Tranel is able to read between the lines and has correctly spotted what I meant.
Apparently unlike you, I hasten to add.
(although my guess is that you misinterpreted me purposely)

If what you say has to be read 'between the lines' then thats your problem, not mine.
(although my guess is that you misinterpreted me purposely)
Grow the f**k up jens. Your statement wasnt clear. You were askedwhat you actually meant. It was explained what the implications were with what you were agreeing with. You basically refused to engage.
In fact its more likely that your failure to make your meaning in any way clear and open was what was deliberate. It seems to be a constant of your posts that you're always saying 'no thats not what I meant' but never actually make it clear what you do mean. You made sure you made your statements were open to misinterpretation, then started to whine about 'dirty tricks' when someone even asked 'is this what you mean'

I know I normally only arse around in these threads, don't want to tread on any toes here (I didn't bring my handbag), but English isn't Jens' first language, maybe that's a factor?

a melody is a nice thing. however, within the modern tonal system, which is limited in term of variety, we can safely declare that all the possible tricks have been used and overused. possiblities are limited, like it or not.
atonality and/or playing with noises and sound effects are some of the multiple ways composers of the last decades have explored in order to be creative rather than just copycats. i don't know if the result deserves the term of music (it's a simple question of definition*, imo), but it is certainly art.
*my own "definition": music is the art of time (i didn't invent the formula)...
>horizontality (melody), verticality (harmony), pulsation (rhythm), instrumentation, spatial organisation are just a handful of parameters to "play with". the objective value of a work lies in the formal perfection of the result, the internal cohesion of the whole thing. the subjective value, different for each listener, lies in the emotional load, the "word" expressed and received.

Having met him, I really dont think there's any significant issue at play there. His written English is a hell of better than some of the academics I work with.
