the idea: seeking to enrich our musical worldview and perhaps edify or entertain the rest of us with his reactions, this thread is for suggesting music (primarily post-1977 or wherever he'd pinpoint his musical knowledge or interests as tapering off, but release date not being a huge deal). kind of like a cross between Mordy's Metal Listening Club and that old thread where people got kicks out of LJ listening to rap songs and writing about them. this thread is mainly for people that know Geir's musical taste and want to share music in a friendly environment, so pay no heed to the audience and context and just use this as an opportunity to champion w/e.

the rules: let's try to keep youtube embeds to a maximum itt.

Was a bit surprised when Geir "liked" this relateively melodically minimal reggae song that I posted on FB, but on the other hand I can totally understand him digging this production -- has a lot of elements similar to Stevie Wonder-style pop and 60s psych:

please feel free to contribute milton

fuck you jan stepek you kurwa (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:04 (fifteen years ago)

some more concrete/early sythesizer music might help geir appresh the timbres of later, pop-oriented electronic music

it's a comp of other composers making pieces on the same synth artemyev used for the tarkovsky films. the schnittke track is particularly amazing, sounds like thomas dimuzio or zoviet-france

just taking a short break from editing, it seems like you've pretty much got it covered here

the bit in the ussachevsky where the parsifal prelude soars through the static is magnificenr

fuck you jan stepek you kurwa (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:14 (fifteen years ago)

ya this schnittke is excellent

i always thought the third section of 'kesto' riffed heavily on artemyev, but this is even closer to that sound

wouldn't be surprised if mika and ilpo knew their soviet electronic history

Was a bit surprised when Geir "liked" this relateively melodically minimal reggae song that I posted on FB, but on the other hand I can totally understand him digging this production -- has a lot of elements similar to Stevie Wonder-style pop and 60s psych:

I generally like a lot of 70s reggae (post-Blackwellificasion of production, pre-90s dancehall). Probably partly through Alex Sadkin, who did not produce that album, but who did some great work for Bob Marley and Grace Jones. And later stuff like these, whom I more or less grew up on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omh6Ld5d3l0
But the likes of UB40, and Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier", also played a part in turning me into that kind of reggae style. It is partly probably the kind of rhythm I like best of all, but it is also very easy to combine with some rather melodic stuff on top if you try to do that.

Lee Perry tends to be a bit too weird and uncompromising for me. Although he was involved in some of those early Black Uhuru albums and I kind of like them.

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:48 (fifteen years ago)

Otherwise, I hate largely most of the rest of the stuff in this thread, but I suppose that was kind of the purpose. :)

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:49 (fifteen years ago)

hah, i suppose, tho it would actually be delightful if u liked some of the more outré stuff itt

i chose that clip from blackboard jungle dub because it is relatively restrained for lee perry, none of his weird effects that mostly came later in the 70s

fuck you jan stepek you kurwa (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:51 (fifteen years ago)

But in the same breath, that makes it even more uncompromising.

I am generally not much of a fan of reggae pre Chris Blackwell's work with Bob Marley and what a lot of Jamaican reggae fans probably thought was a watering down of reggae.

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:52 (fifteen years ago)

(Even though the likes of John Holt, Ken Boothe, Boris Gardiner and Johnny Nash were probably all way more watered down in the early 70s than anything produced by Chris Blackwell has ever been)

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:53 (fifteen years ago)

how about this? from the very famous self titled congos lp, it is quite heavy on the effects but tuneful nonetheless

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JhTM0Lar3Q

fuck you jan stepek you kurwa (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:55 (fifteen years ago)

That is better. I kind of wish Lee Perry would use the panning buttons a bit more often though. That is part of the reason why I love Chris Blackwell and Alex Sadkin - their extreme use of panning.

You're Twistin' My Melody Man! (Geir Hongro), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 02:57 (fifteen years ago)

srsly geir, there's not a lot of music after about 1973 that we will both like, but im glad u like the congos

20th century "classical" music has actually abanonded many of the ideas that the European classical tradition built upon, like being too influenced by less melodic pre-Bach music. Thus, it is less intellectuall and requires less skills than 18th or 19th century classical music did.

how much pre-bach influence is to be found within the works of barraqué, boulez, webern et al? i very much doubt any of those cared for the renaissance polyphonists as ralph vaughan williams did, for example

the syllogism inherent in your post seems to be-

bach is intellectual, some music is less bach-like than other music, therefore it is less intellectual

at the very least it must be admitted that other streams of music can be intellectual, even allowing for the dubious premise that 20th century composers was less influenced by bach than their predecessors

the ur-modernists especially were responsible for upholding bach as the 'father of all music', and the almost ~unearthly~ esteem webern and schoenberg held for bach would have seemed quite inexplicable to many of your romantic favourites

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

I went to a school with one of the best music conservatories in the entire United States, and in my time there I met the following number of students with perfect pitch: One. My wife works at one of the premier music educations institutions in the US, one whose faculty members are drawn primarily from our local orchestra, which is world class, and she has NEVER met a student with perfect pitch. Ever.

The entire notion is simply preposterous. It's not even ridicule-able, it's just fucking stupid.

As for the 12 tone composers, they were really something of their own. Their fixation on dissonance was an intellectually interesting idea that sadly couldn't ever sound anything but shit. And musical skills is partly about learning how to avoid music sounding like shit, so there...

Does perfect pitch also imply perfect timing?

also according to Geir everybody with steady-tone tinnitus is a genius, because guess what, if you've got an F# whistling away in you ear 24/7, you have perfect pitch

Oh shit if I can just sing a C# above it I've got an act I can take on the road.

They all have names!

So, if you play C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, B Flat and B at the same time, what is that chord called?

Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 28 April 2011 00:17 (fifteen years ago)

Berg uses a 12-note chord in the Altenberg Lieder iirc

xpost to geir's chord well, I don't know! But there will be some sort of "C diminished 9th augmented 10th etc etc"

Mark G, Thursday, 28 April 2011 00:21 (fifteen years ago)

Well.. Still it was very much that kind of chord I was thinking of, and typically, Berg used it.

Generally, chords that were not used by Debussy, Strauss, Ravel nor Mahler probably should have remained unused.

Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 28 April 2011 00:23 (fifteen years ago)

Not very quickly, but I can. Generally, perfect pitch makes notation obsolete though. The most genius musicians always have perfect pitch.

― Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Wednesday, April 27, 2011 11:23 PM (35 minutes ago)

not to continue the geir pile on, but as a guy who knows some stuff, that bolded part is uh completely insane and actually makes no sense.

The Band Perry is the drummer for Gay Dad (jjjusten), Thursday, 28 April 2011 00:23 (fifteen years ago)

like so if an orchestra was trying to learn a piece you would i dont know have a different orchestra play it for them or hum it at them individually or

The Band Perry is the drummer for Gay Dad (jjjusten), Thursday, 28 April 2011 00:25 (fifteen years ago)

No see because as long as the composer is also the conductor, he just hums the entire score simultaneously for the orchestra, who also have perfect pitch and can match him in real time.

I doubt there has ever been an orchestra where all members had a perfect pitch. But then, with today's technology, you have the one man band. So there.

Hongroe (Geir Hongro), Thursday, 28 April 2011 00:27 (fifteen years ago)

re: The entire notion is simply preposterous. It's not even ridicule-able, it's just fucking stupid.

You mean the notion of perfect pitch? Or Geir's notion that all great musicians have it?

wk, Thursday, 28 April 2011 01:12 (fifteen years ago)

well perfect pitch def exists, but it is super rare - perfect relative pitch is more common. the bigger ridiculous thing here is the idea that it somehow replaces musical notation because again the two things are not actually related.

The Band Perry is the drummer for Gay Dad (jjjusten), Thursday, 28 April 2011 01:16 (fifteen years ago)

guys I have been telling you for years that Geir on classical is like me on chemistry i.e. I do not know jack shit about chemistry. I can name some chemicals but do not let me near your beakers and burners I will just break shit & do not argue with Geir about classical he has some vague ideas he copped in school 20 years ago and didn't fully grasp.
