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

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
thank fuck this album got some attention
TED talks are successful because they make half-wits feel smart for a day. that's the deal with the left, they don't want depth in their knowledge they want breadth. they want to know a little about everything but not a lot about anything. if they ever did become an expert on something it might accidentally cause their little Marxist brains to short circuit. so they stick to TED talks and short courses
