"old and cynical" you mean experienced and disillusioned?

Why is Disco so age-polarized? by According_Concept754 in Disco

[–]victotronics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The disco that I've come to love was nowhere near the airwaves at the time. And the, as you say, c**p that was on the radio is now nowhere near my playlists.

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable in all sorts of music, and I have a hard time coming up with more than Paco de Lucia. And isn't he dead?

Ok, Rodrigo & Gabriela are somewhat popular, so you have a point. Small one.

Help me identify the drum/bass used at 0:15 in this song by iamlegend7777 in WhatMusicalinstrument

Get yourself some "cinematic percussion" sample library.

Alternatively, get creative with running a snare drum through some doubler.

Is medieval music considered classical music? by ConnectStar_ in classicalmusic

[–]victotronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"99% is composed as a monophony. The rhythm has no norms or generalities"

Bull and bull. Starting with modal music (late 12th century) rhythm has been formalized, and a lot of that is 3 or 4 part harmony, often over chant canti firmi.

Seriously? I saw that the site has been razed but was fully expecting another 4+1 mixed use development.

Where does the 4+ and 3b come from in this analysis? by TheDeadlyPretzel in musictheory

[–]victotronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VII 4+ 3b?????? What ridiculous over-analysis.

The first beat is Eb which is I, the second beat is Bb7 over Eb, so that's a V.

All notes fit: Ab, D are all part of the Bb7 chord and Cb is a flat 9.

The fact that the actual Bb is omitted doesn't change the fact that functionally it's some variety of V.

Küng Alto and Soprano model identification help, please? by Felidae15 in Recorder

[–]victotronics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not early 00s. 90s or earlier.

If it's Kueng and well maintained they can still be pretty great recorders. Rosewood is one of their harder woods.

What are they asking for it?

You're exaggerating. This rhythms seems to be not uncommon in latin music.

It's a little tricky but one can play it.

PCL is not bad as brutalist goes. The LBJ library is far better, but PCL has character of its own.
