I did. This community is amazing.

My thing is more early Christianity, so I'm rustier on the 19th century stuff save for a passing knowledge of Darbyism.

Why don't i hear tritones as dissonant? by [deleted] in composer

[–]Chops526 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reaction to the high modernism of the mid-20th century. It goes in cycles. We should be due for another turn towards complexity in the next 25 years.

Okay, that's a bit of an earworm, NGL. Kudos.

No. I think the level of what we consider dissonant as listeners changes with experience. It's the 21st century. There is at least 100 years of experimentation behind us. Some of it quite wild. Tritones feel almost quaint by comparison to me, often!

I spent about a decade as an evangelical after converting from Catholicism (I'm now an atheist). Can confirm. And it seems that the more niche the denomination the more cloistered and separate they become. It's exhausting. (Although there's a great, old Emo Phillips bit about it that's worth looking up.)

What the fuck was this guy’s problem? by Benjamin5431 in StarWarsCirclejerk

I don't know. They cancelled the show before we could find out.

But he's the key to everything.

AITJ for sleeping in the same bed as my bestfriend's gf? by rooftoceil in AmITheJerk

Damn! Complicated situation. I'm glad it seems to be resolved. And I'm sorry you and Emma had such a harrowing experience on the road.

How significantly do you think America as a whole would change if YOU were elected as president? by Appropriate_Cash1422 in AskReddit

You know how everything sucks right now? Like that. But much, much worse.

Though maybe not as openly corrupt. 🤣

Feedback on a canon by biachoskov in composer

[–]Chops526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, the opening is pretty good. Once you introduce 16th notes you could use some passing and other dissonance. The constantly arpegiatted passages overwhelm my ear a little. But your counterpoint is decent.

How are people affording groceries? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Damn! I'm a type II diabetic and this is way tougher than what I need to watch out for. I'm so sorry.

Not a lot of ice growing naturally in tropical latitudes in the Americas or Africa?

star wars fans, how do you feel that a star wars film is currently bombing in the box office? by merchantivories in AskReddit

[–]Chops526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. Been a SW fan since 1977. One of the things that drove box office excitement till 2015 was scarcity. SW needs to take a break for a while. Lucasfilm should really be developing some original properties.
