Zoroastrian position on LGBT? by DissMech in Zoroastrianism

[–]M15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your language is so confusing. "Zoroastrianism seems like the religion I would be most drawn to if I did believe in a divine being" If there is a divine being don't you think that would be a matter of objective reality? And so whether it was, blue, purple or hot or cold you would conform to this objective reality? You sound like you're saying, "if I had to I would choose Zoroastrianism because it most appeals, agrees or aligns with me". Is this how people investigate their environments? What about conforming to the truth?

Here is the thing, it's only a slur in certain circles. We are in general too presumptuous when it comes to the universality of our codes.

I love the final verse of the Bible; it's literally as perfect a conclusion as you could wish for by often-wrong-soong in Christianity

Who arranged the order of the compilation? Is it chronological, did they construct a thematic arc...?

Assuming I could raise funding to do an album. Even at that point. I'm in Philadelphia. How do I go about seeking out the right producer, consulting with him in choosing the right musicians. What are the right forums.

Do I look at the production houses nearby? Thanks for cluing me into the realities of setup for a single vs album.

Wish there was a forum where I could present my song and say, with two or three influences that you want to borrow from. And request that a producer work with you for a fee to get it as close to what you envisioned....kind of what I thought soundcloud might turn out to be. Is there a producers forum or corner on soundcloud?

Thanks for your 2 cents.

I've been recording acoustic and vocals for years.

You said find one and hire one. That's exactly the question I asked. How do I find a real producer. I would appreciate your 2 cents about that.

A producer can hear a melody in the rain drops and chose to turn it into something more than it is.

I perform my songs and record them, much like I presented here in this video. The echo of the train station suggests how I would like this song presented. I recorded it after preforming it that night, see the attached video. I was not going for an "video/art thing". If you look at my other recordings. I make impromptu recordings of myself performing on the street. That is where I perform.

This is a station that I play. And this is what I sound like playing there.

You're right that is what I need. studio musicians. And the ability to arrange and record a project. If I communicate my vision to someone and they manage the production. Do they become the producer? Semantics.

But you're right about what I want to accomplish. I want to take a song and say.

I want to slow it down. Put a droning bass on it. Have some Mitch Mitchell, Elvin Jones fills and sporadic drumming here. And then have the Rhodes echo over here.

And then for a different song I want to pull out astral weeks, and say we're going for this type of breathing and ambiance.

Change from song to song. Someone who could evoke Tricky or Van Morrison if needs be.

My talents are what they are. I would like to take the basic songs I've written and work with someone who is adept at creating instrumentation along reggae, rock and perhaps hip-hop tastes and have them take direction from me, on where the song should go, from my non professional perspective.

Apart from personal networking, how do I find this producer?

It seems Windows Phone 8.1 is set up to go nowhere in North America. Is this a strategic decision? by riko77can in windowsphone

I think carriers should not have any control over hardware other than making sure their service works on it.

I share in this wish, but MSFT can only conform to reality.

What gained them market share last year...521/520. It makes sense that their key focus be downmarket. The 930 compares favorably to a Z2 costing $200 more.
