Do you make music a human heart? I’ve never figured that out. If that sounds like a smug question or something it’s not I’m just curious.

Wampler group sounds a lot like r/Guitar. Which is the dumbest collection of talentless blues dads on the internet. Because if you play any melody with a 2nd or 6th, or any beat division more difficult than a triplet, or anything that isn't a 12 bar blues, it's emotionless masturbation. Not saying everyone has to like all the weird shreddy music I do, but I really feel like almost everyone who posts there repeats that poo poo as an excuse for both sucking and having no desire to suck less. Tangent: Actually, I have no idea why the belief that the sole purpose of all music is to convey emotion is so common. Maybe it's because I studied a bunch of aesthetic theory a few years back (I'm a humanities Ph.D student), but that's generally considered to be a really lovely account of what art is. Obviously some styles of art aim at conveying a specific emotion, but it's a dumb standard to judge all forms of art or music by that one criterion. A lot of great art, especially in the past century or so, is great simply because it's novel, or calls into question stylistic norms, or serves as social or cultural criticism (or whatever). I'm pretty sure that when Frank Zappa quotes a bar of Stravinsky in a Doo-Wop song about boogers (or whatever), he's not overly concerned with the emotional affect of the listener. Doesn't mean it isn't badass.

I have made it a policy in twenty years of being on the internet to automatically be suspicious of anyone who unironically says something is either "badass" or "kickass." It has not failed me yet.

Replace "badass" with "great art" if it tickles your fancy. Same basic point, doesn't really make a difference to what I meant. And just to be clear: It's perfectly fine if, as an artist, you want to shoot for conveying emotion. Whatever you want to do with your art is fine at the end of the day. The point I'm trying to make is more about art criticism I guess.

Slightly related but the day I stopped reading reviews/critiques of music was the most wonderful day and best decision I’ve ever made. It’s a completely bullshit world 99% of the time. Elevating art and piecing together the history rules. The rest is a cesspool. The only review I want to read is “hey this is loving sick check it out”.

It’s not “top tier” or anything remotely close, it’s wasteful amateur hour savings-burning ego masturbation. “Top tier” media scamming is pretending there’s any way offset “interrupted” a headliner’s festival act with a parade of roses without prior clearance, or that jay-z and Beyoncé have a loving, honest emotional relationship.

Looks like someone took a pic a few months back with this pedalboard of an unreleased Eventide pedal. It hasn't been released yet, which might be why they're defensive about it? It may have already been registered etc.  Edit: It looks like earlier this year Eventide got sued for a plugin they just released called Fission and they had to rename it to Physion or something goofy. I bet that moment forward they got their ducks in a row for all products they plan to release.... quote:Shortly after we launched Fission in 2017 we were notified that another software product had been named Fission and, in response to a formal request, we decided the best thing to do would be to change the name of our product. So, from now on Fission will be known as Physion. Philthy fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Dec 17, 2018 |

I had a stupid music poo poo epiphany just a minute ago. I have probably 3 grand worth of overdrive and distortion pedals, from cheap poo poo like a big muff to expensive poo poo like a klon clone or a JHS sweet tea... I use my 35 dollar (used, it's like 50 new) TC Electronic Mojo Mojo more than all the others combined. It sounds so good for being such a cheap rear end pedal. I'm gonna sell a bunch of poo poo on Reverb and buy some different stupid poo poo I think Malaria fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Dec 18, 2018 |
