I just realized I potentially need no more instrumental skill than I already have to make good music

I also realized that despite all the crazy synthesizers and effects, piano has to be my n1 favourite sound

But I also like the sound of Clavinet, and keys in general

I am starting to realize that all there really is to music is rhythms and lines

I feel like I was mentally fixated on chord playing for a long time, and I focused on the chord instruments (Guitar/piano)

but the fundamental recipe of "lines put together in narrative form" is the non retard version of that

it must have been rock music cancer in me

sticking the idea in my head that music is chord progression with lead lines on top of it, instead of a whole ecosystem of lead lines at its core

rhythm stripped down to it's most bare meaning is a quantitative aspect of music

yeah

there's only a handful of quantitative elements

but I am suddenly noticing everyone retarded thinks in chords and everyone good thinks in lines

rhythm instrumens are instruments who produce tones of a "bare" quality, lacking character, longitude

I would even say I am a good bassist primarily because I approached the instrument from day one playing lines

the "petrified" sound made to express the quantitative aspect which can nevetheless, be expressed without them

I am only B+/A- technical skill at it, it's that I know what to play

yes

they distill down not to prozak's "least distinct expression," which would be the melody, but into something more like an overly compressed jpeg

chord focus precludes attention to detail, so no wonder the music of today is completely lacking in it

it is chord autism

i guess that all modern dance and ance like music would be the elaboration of that quantitative, "elan vital' aspect of music embodied within dynamic rhythms

while on the other hand, we have in the opposing end a certain sound which completely lacks percussive elements, for example, bach's fugue in g minor

Rachmaninoff had a very agressive right hand technique which played chords as if they were notes

I personally would not avoid strong rhytm if i was working right now on specifically "psy" tunes, since they can lend themselves to this purpose

also floor jansen has a good voice but it's way too low

there are lots of talented tenf sort of niggers here

today I was forced to sit through a TED talk

only idiots watch those unironically

purplehairs mingling science and their idiot beliefs

that TED stuff is total propaganda couched as "intellectualism"

TED is science for quadroons

People who are excited about the possibilities that AI offers to a population that is soon to be a monstrous beige mixture halfway between a man and the ape

Focus on "management of life" rather than offering anything that is actually geared towards the fulfillment of that which we, as humans, *actually* care about

what is it with normal fucking retards and wanting to quantify and micromanage every aspect of their life and submit every aspect of their life to randomized controlled trials

these creatures have no sense of adventure

life is only an adventure if you don't know everything, yet act anyway

if you know a ton, it requires ignorance

yet it is what gives meaning
