I sense something... a presence I haven't felt since...

 

Indeed, the bull is strong in this one...

 

It's as if I've only been away two minutes and Bam,...

more great big hairy ones rolling from a thread

 

Am I the only one who keeps forgetting music theory? I can't memorize its concepts ... I just hummm if something good comes up I write it...otherwise I don't.Sometimes I need to listen to good music so badly,sometimes I need silence and loneliness.But that's only my way

 

@Xupito yeah i suddenly realised this whole conversation was a big joke and i stupidly fell into the trap (slow minded) and i have 0 sense of humour, i am a 1st degree guy (pretty dummy) like many musicians...
LOL i was caught WELL DONE. i told him to go found a sect ahahah pathetic

Exactly! You talk of the difference between 'thinking' or 'being in the moment' and being able to improv and just be a channel for all that is in you.
This is what Bruce Lee meant when he alludes to throwing the books away. The mind gets in the way.

 

Xupito, a thread without your comments would be meaningless.

 

FOSTER LIVES

 

and he's still nuts

 

this one is to you foster

 

1. Got 'em

2. I have a level 120 Arcane Mage in WoW and waiting for the release of Shadowlands where they will put all 120s to lvl 50 and then re-level again to 60 with the latter being the new experience level cap.

3. Yep, here's my studio (check out the RGB):

Music is 3 things.

1.Melody
2.Harmony
3.Rhythm

It's what we mean by that word music.

How you use those 3 components , is really up to you .it's just that us human beings like familiarity along with novelty. ( Creativity )

But here is the thing ,
Rhythm can easily be imitated because it's rooted in the heartbeat and the time cycles of our lives.
Melody ( at least the most basic level )
Can also be imitated to a degree .( In a nursery rhyme sense of basic level )
However Harmony is a different beast all together .
Harmony is the way that the built in mathematical relationships of music exist in on their own.
( Once some type of discreet set of tempered notes are decided on )
So Harmony requires a different approach than the other 2. It requires in interest in recognizing " music" as a pre existing Area ( older than the person excited by it.)
And that as long as you are not creating your own unique temperament system, to develop harmony on the same level as the rhythm which potentially comes so naturally to you. This requires some acknowledgement that music " works a certain way " on its own . ( In the sense of stacking your layers of notes ) and then there is a second part to this.
That you are actually interested in a discovery of that relationship.
( In the sense of knowing how to name And categorize in your own brain the way that the sounds stack up and how these relationships can be grouped together in understanding.

Luckily this boils down to pattern recognition.
The same type of which just operating in reality makes EVERY human being good at! ( Within reason .)

It's not difficult.

In conclusion.

There are 3 aspects which make up MUSIC.
1 of them Rhythm is intuitive , imatatble comes natural.
2nd melody , the most basic level of it is just as easy
However the 3rd component,
Harmony is based on a more advanced aspect of music itself and requires a study.
Yet the type of development which it takes to master all 3 of these with some effort.
All that is required is to draw upon the abilities one uses each day in several areas of life .
( From the use of a spoken language and recognition of body language , to the managing of daily activities regarding pattern recognition you get hungry you eat.you hear a noise you react you take in signals and group like things together to interpret " meaning")
You see Harmony deals with Semantics.
( Semantics is about " meaning" the deepest meaning )
You always hear people use the word " semantics "
In the wrong way ,they are refferring to " syntax".
Which is like punctuation semantics would be the meaning of a word not it's punctuation.

 

Yo @MMJ2017! Glad you are alright!

 

So far I'm okay ( but NY not doing so well }
I been getting prepared to start the YouTube channel .
( I'm pretty poor right now though )
But so far it's going a decent rate .
I'm not in a rush ,because I want the quality of the production to match the quality of the content.
I'm excited by the number of people looking forward to it, as I been working to develop a way of communicating the information more intuitive then I have seen done before .
( This is through a holographic layer of information overlayed on the video which the viewer is seeing and hearing the music with also a visual representation of the information overlayed at same time in same moment.)
I been working hard day and night on these things and very enthusiastic about what the results will be.
I've worked out a smaller video space and while I'm building that area up ( just installed backdrop lighting yesterday ) I'm looking into a much larger warehouse space by a potential investor.
( However , Im trying to be very realistic and therefore even if I got no outside help or assistance I'm developing a way to do everything myself .(albeit a much more time consuming process (
I hope everyone is safe and doing fine.
I'm going to get back to work and will post things ASAP

 

@MMJ2017
Wow! This sounds great, man! Well done.
Please let me/us know when it's time to come and support your channel.

 

Youtube is probably not the best solution for your needs, video longer then 240 minutes are not allowed.

You can always upload a very brief introduction to your theories, it should fit youtube length limit.

 

Read the headline and knew immediately: Foster reincarnation!

 

Wow, man @jhagen. Bitter, or something? Jealous?
Yes, very amusing re. your allusion to our friend's excellent exhaustive measures he makes.
It is not for his "needs", it is for the needs of the learners.

 

Well, I suppose I need to work on improving that area I guess

What I am excited about , is that the medium of 4k video with sound is the potential for fitting the highest information into the smallest amount of time possible.( When at same time having it make sense very easily )
So for example,
Let's say I was demonstrating something in the guitar in a video.
The viewer can see different angles of the physical motion on the guitar, while at the same time hear what it sounds like , she at the same time seeing a animation layer of what it is that's being played in terms of the information component.
So all this would be happening in few seconds .
( Where as the same amount of information except only in text form would require several paragraphs while missing some dimension in terms of hearing the thing being demonstrated )

@MMJ2017 I think he's just trying to take the piss! Forget about it.
But also, smaller bitesize videos will be more lucrative if monetized. You can upload parts every week to keep an interest up, rather than putting all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.
Plus, you know how short the attention span of "the yoof" is!
