Music

Hi guys, this is a thread all about music. Here, we can talk about the music we like and if we play any
instruments. I like various kinds of music, including jazz, classic and more unusual things like the
music in pure intonation album by Michael Harrison. I am very open minded when it comes to music, and
I give anything a listen. As far as the instruments I can play, there's the piano. So, I can kind
of play any instrument with a piano keyboard such as organ, harpsichord or accordion. But I also had lessons
on the accordion as well as on the piano for almost 11 years, so, I can play them quite well. I also
play the harp and the mouth-organ. I
didn't have any lessons in any of those, but I can play them by teaching myself. As for the harp,
I'm sure I'm definitely not playing
with the right technique, but it works for me, and that's the most important thing, right? Anyway, further
going, I also play the recorder, in short, I play quite a variety of instruments. I can read notes, too,
but, at the moment, its easier for me to hear and then play it rather than reading it. So, that's it
for me for now, I'm very
curious what your opinion for this is. Have a great time on here.

I play keyboards and some strings. I used to be able to strum rhythm on the guitar, but I injured the
flexor tendon in my left middle finger, thus my endurance is, shall we say, handicapped. I can only play
for about five minutes or so, then a nerve starts screaming in that finger. I had surgery on it so yeah.

Anything goes musically for me as long as it makes musical sense, that's relative I know, but most importantly
it has to be melodic for me to really like it. Lyrics are, of course, important as well.

Yes, I can understand that. That's why I don't like 12 tone music, if you know what this is.

Chromatics? Hmm, not sure I know what that is. I don't like much discord, however, having said that,
certain chords, when mixed together, make for interesting sound.

Ok, I can't describe it, but a composer who made some songs using that kind of music is Arnolt Schönberg.
It is horrible, it sounds like someone's just pressing random stuff on a piano.

Ugh, that sounds yucky for sure.

There is a classical song which mixes E flat minor with A flat major, in sort of a battle, and I love
how that sounds.

As for the 12 tone music, I listened to it again, and it isn't as bad as I thought. Actually, there are two types of this
kind of music, one is called successive and the other is called simultan. It turns out that only the
simultan is very bad, where as the successive is ok to listen to, but it still sounds very foreign. That
piece you mentioned sounds very interesting. Do you know what its called?

I wish I did. I'm not very well versed on classical, who wrote what, except for the obvious ones, smiles.

hmm! i'm not sure what they could be called either but this is all verry interesting.

I really love it when classical pieces are played in historical tunings, especially when Bach is played
in the pythagorean tuning, I absolutely love how that sounds.

Even though I have perfect pitch I would probably like that too.

I listening old hip hop and Techno Hardbass, handsup, happy hardcore, and radio Core time FM. I making
my beats etc because it's week.

Hi all. I like the following:
Enya:
Enigma:
Imogen Heap
Robert Miles
The moody blues:
some melodic dubstep
and many other things.

Ah yes, I have a good bit of Enya's music. I love it, was introduced to her stuff by a former workmate,
and close friend.

Ah okay, that's nice. What do you think of her new album?

I probably haven't heard it yet. All the stuff I have is older, I'm sure.

cool i like dance music, techno, mashup mixes is where you have a song and mixed up with another artest.
mashup mixes a cool. i love them. lol i want to try and completely fill my hard-drive with mashup mixes
instead of my favourite downloaded and cd music

I love a lot of different music as long as it isn't dance music and has a good melody. I used to play
different kinds of flute, everything from recorder to traverse flute to ocarina. I also used to play
guitar and piano. Since my stroke, I can't use my left hand for playing any more, so all I can do is
sing or play the melodica.

As for twelve tone music, I don't like it, but my former choir director once told me Schönberg is quite
good, so I guess I'll have a go at his stuff some time.

aw damn! lol dance music can be easily altered by people's cool ways of partying

Lol, good one. Although some earlier forms of dance music were a lot more melodical. Although what comes
out these days isn't that interesting, music itself has changed a lot. I guess that's how music works.
