Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Setting aside Cage, that seems like a pretty obvious aspect of creating music.
What about that idea bothers you?

Back on topic...
Crunchy chips. Don't get me wrong, I like to eat them. But it irrationally peeves me when somebody within 10 feet of me is crunching away at them. When did you replace your teeth with a rock crusher? Aaargh!

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
The grant that I'm on has it's own center here at PSU and every week there's a seminar with lunch provided. Used to be those sheet pizzas that you can feed a million people for $50. They changed it to sandwiches and kettle chips. If there's an absolutely terrible time for a room of people to be eating chips it's during someone's talk that they've been working on for the past who knows how long.44windmill wrote:Back on topic...

This is not about space and silence. Listen to that thing. How about I compose a tune called 5'56". Six movements, few minutes each. First three will have 1 note. The great 4th will have 2 notes. The last two back to 1 note. I'll call it art. You're going to listen to it?Factorial wrote:You don't believe that silence plays an important role in music?Sarcastic wrote:Yup, agreed.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Space/silence is used when soloing or even playing slower pieces. You can't always play non-stop. But you're right, that thing is just nonsense.count2infinity wrote:Often times in music, it's not about what you play, but when you don't play it (or so my jazz teacher said in high school). But the complete silence act? That's just nonsense. It's like some modern art where they're being edgy just to be edgy.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Ugh just read the first comment of the 4'33" YouTube video. "You don't appreciate sound"
Jesus tap dancing Christ this guy has to be a troll right?
I cant remember what its from specifically but its kind of like this bit where a renowned artist paints an intentionally dumb artwork and let's the "intellectuals" feast upon it like its a god damn masterpiece.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I think the "point" of 4'33" is that there can never be complete silence. There may not be music, but there definitely is sound.tifosi77 wrote:Silence is only effective when juxtaposed against, you know, noise.Factorial wrote:You don't believe that silence plays an important role in music?Sarcastic wrote:Yup, agreed.

lol, the first thing I thought when I listened to that 4'33" was Dadaism. And the only thing I can remember about that was Marcel Duchamp's urinal painting.

I work with a guy who can take any story or situation and somehow make it about him. No matter what, he can relate his life to something. The dude just loves to talk about himself.

I'm that guy. I'm aware of it and try to curb it and be a better active listener, but I can't help but try and match experiences. Not sure if it's an empathy thing, accommodation, or a narcissism trait. Want to help me talk it out?Crankshaft wrote:I work with a guy who can take any story or situation and somehow make it about him. No matter what, he can relate his life to something.

I don't think this guy realizes he even does it. It's obviously not done with malice but if we're talking about replacing the toner in the printer, we don't need to hear about that one time you tried to change the toner at your old job and got ink all over your shirt.

When people immediately crunch candy that is meant to be, sigh, sucked on for a while...it hurts my teeth when you do that, just eat candy like a normal human...
