Just found this and i for some reason come to think about all this post from Foster about how boring music is.. not that i care that much but maybe this is what he's trying to do but just cant put his fingers on.. if he has any..

Okej.. moving along..

 

As I understand it the talk is using music as a metaphor for something bigger about any human endeavour. I like the pyschological analysis though. I don't see anything wrong with the concept of a "Renaissance Man". Which is think is conveniently left out of his discussion.

The question shouldn't be "Is this Music?"

The question is, "Does it move you?".

is foster not around here anymore?

he was always such a strange guy. He had these lofty ideas about what music needs to achieve technically to be "good" but didn't seem to grasp the importance of making something that's pleasing to listen to or elicits an emotional response

edit - oh no this dude in the video is so awkward. his jokes are all bombing so hard looool

ive seen this guy before, lots of fun, its always interesting to hear people different takes and journeys in music, discovering new things and discovering themselves. Mark is a fun, positive individual someone who actually knows music, and also plays music very well. he has chosen to enter other areas of his music creation, as you name, he has skills and puts effort into his work

meanwhile, that foster (then, "icwc", and now "caml.down") couldn't make shit, showed zero talent, zero interest for anything, which naturally is not a crime, but he then felt entitled to diss members and spam their threads and topics, people who actually wanted to inspire others, and members who actually put some effort into learning the tools of music. they would have their threads totally ruined every single time by him, always with his silly smiles hiding the aggression. that is the work of a true a%%&€, nothing else.

nothing of the above can be said of Mark Applebaum

Epic Analog ...The Doorstop. An essential instrument for every musician. John Cage would be proud!

 

Who is Foster? I don't think you are referring to THE David Foster.

 

it was a nutcase kicked out for spamming and pushing a sort of anti-intelectual war..
he re-registers though and goes under several nicks

 

i am foster.....

 

It seems that people do not like him but always try to remember hm?

 

I would not like to be remembered in a negative way. Usually people that do are mentally unstable,seek attention and love drama.

 

I'm not me, I'm somebody else!

 

I just want steve faoki to come back

 

"I Am Not Me" Love the Kongos.

its not the same without Foster and Steve Faoki. those guys had me howling.

 

I totally missed that faoki joker
at least he seems to have had some fantasy and kind of fun?

that is the impression I get when I hear people mentioning him

 

I'm your father Luke... I meann... whatever...

 

Faoki guy wasnt anything like Foster is.. But he made his mark by being desillusion. Impossible to to forget someone that pretty much start by posting a greatest hits of his music after doing beats for a few weeks. Then claiming hes just as good as the big names in the industry.. and really mean it.. hard to beat.. But foster's and hes struggles creating even something close to a melody is kind of tragic and at the same time funny casue it somehow fits his post's about human race, space, aliens and so on.. and maybe the truth is that he's not from this world, an alien stranded in a world he dont understand.. Maybe an idea for a movie .. but no.. the soundtrack would be terrible..
