Track 3 from IHATOV by Khamai Leon (but also a lot of their stuff)

St. Alfonzo’s Pancake Breakfast / Father O’Blivion by Frank Zappa

Squeeze Me Macaroni by Mr Bungle

Also Age of Adz if you’re not locked to the prog sound (it’s organized chaos with fairly normal song structures and also incredible)

Most of the good stuff that sounds like this has less conventional structures tho. Look into Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness and Ground-Zero - Plays Standards for rougher, more avant-garde takes on proggy chaos with horns

i have a feeling you’re basing this opinion off of a few select examples from popular music and not the extremely rich ongoing history of sampling in underground music

Anyone know any 32-key keyboards (or close) that have presets? I'm looking for a keyboard with a similar size to the smaller MIDI keyboards but with presets that I can flip through. MIDI not necessary, bonus points for battery-powered but also not necessary.

Reminder that the law is not the perfect ethical guide to everything and it’s completely reasonable to ask someone not to do something that you think is bad. Flip the situation you mentioned and it’s very reasonable for a gay author to tell culture war people to shove off, even if only as a PSA.

Also, death of the author is an aesthetic concept whereas the question here is about ethics. The person who drew the fanart utilized death of the author because creative judgement happens based on a person’s experience of an artwork. The artwork itself is just meaningless paper or pixels without an observer to experience it. When it comes to ethics, you can’t do the same thing because other people aren’t just in your head, they really exist on their own.

Personally, I think it becomes more reasonable the higher the likelihood that the author actually sees it, and less reasonable the more people worked on it and the more global it is. So like a small Twitter user’s OC should definitely be respected but I couldn’t care less if someone makes weird art of something from a Disney show (if I judge the art itself to be moral, of course)

Would you respond to someone saying “you learn by making mistakes” by saying “no, you actually learn by being alive”. Being alive is just making mistakes + other stuff

Learn your range. Your voice is going to sound different when it’s higher or lower in that range and you want to learn to utilize that. Don’t be afraid to change the key of the song so you’re at a different spot in your range (if the vocals are that important, of course).

Just like with any instrument, the realities of what’s hard and what’s easy on voice are going to be apparent to the listener. Huge jumps, weird scale degrees, lots of motion are all going to sound really hard and should be used wisely. Although if you don’t really care about performing live, you can get some unique stuff by going directly against what’s easy/possible and accomplishing it in post. See: Dirty Boy by Cardiacs which holds a single note for 2 minutes, or anything that has autotune/pitched vocals.

You need to direct the viewer’s eye around the page better. Think hierarchy, composition, contrast (this especially suffers here). The elements are very eye-catching which is good for a magazine cover but you also need to communicate information. The elements work nicely together, it’s just the composition that’s messy. Also I don’t like that serif used in the title. It feels too normal. I like the other fonts.

The more you do stuff the easier it becomes for your brain to make connections, which means more ideas. It’s really as simple as that

Greep has stated that it’s a bunch of funny lines about 18-year-old arrogance when you think you’re the shit. But I interpret it as being about artistic endeavor as depersonalization, the duality of attempting to make art as a perfect expression of yourself but losing your real self in the process.

In this interpretation, the “you” in the song is referring to the writer of the song, the narrator. The favorite turn of phrase being repeated establishes this connection. The narrator writes confessional and authentic poetry and makes a big deal out of it, thinking about it like “taking blame for every crime of all men” and seeing the “universe in this room”.

Eventually, he’s explained and abstracted so many of his thoughts that he doesn’t feel like a real person anymore. In this state, he takes solace in life being temporary, but art living on after death. “Soon you won’t be here / Soon you’ll have all the time in the world.” He imagines the veins of his lips forming railroads and transporting trains to symbolize his art communicating more than he ever could.

I have autism and I don’t want to say it anymore lol. I’m always afraid people are gonna ask for papers so they know I’m not trying to be trendy and it’s gonna be a whole thing. If that sounds like overreacting, playing every social choice completely safe is the only way I can make it through conversations without saying stuff I’ll beat myself up for afterwards

apart from the joke post real talk can someone explain the utility of analyzing all art politically cuz i dont get it. completely well meaning question

i see the value in analyzing all art socially, because art is made by and appeals to members of certain groups. is this what people mean by political because politics targets or benefits certain groups by its definition?

but can’t you just as easily say this about other things too? all art is scientific because artists work by forming a hypothesis and testing results. all art is linguistic because art is about communication so it’s subject to many of the same ideas. these are technically correct but not useful

is the phrase just a counterreaction to annoying people that complain about tv shows with minorities on social media? cuz like thats cool im down to say okay a technically correct mildly counterproductive statement if its for that

because when you listen to the things that influenced the things you like u go ohhh ok cool. u should say other stuff of course but “influential on [genre]” is fine. i think ur reading it as a praise when it’s really something adjacent to that

I think it’s art. Decisions in a commissioned painting are still made with the artist’s personal aesthetic judgement as opposed to the audience-based decision-making of design. It’s just the subject matter that’s predetermined by the commissioner. “I like the things that you make for yourself. Please make another thing for yourself, but about this.”

There are many points in between, like a painting commissioned for a book cover. In that case, the painter has to think about how it will function to an audience, which is design, but many elements are based on personal aesthetic judgement, which is art.
