I love notes so much that i even invented one, which I called F Sharp.

 

What about notes without music?

 

AKA jazz fusion.

 

Karlheinz Stockhausen

 

Deep down, fTRoLLster feels extremely uncomfortable as repeatedly realizes that, in terms of compositional royalty, the notes have lost their throne... Fella, your “super sincere” lament over the “forgotten notes” is as melodramatic as the unempathic music of Nouvelle Vague films...

Chill out, Sir lament-as-notes, this isn't about rejecting traditional writing or compositional craft, but rather embracing these other expressive paradigms (some of which you, as you constantly remind us, claim to detest with academic fervor!). But have you forgotten how all that experimentalism that brought the so-called “fads” of Musique Concrète, Minimalism, and more recently, Atmospheric Aesthetic, was utterly trashed by audiences at the time of their debuts? Nothing like time to turn the tables, right?

Quite the downfall... from provocateur to the one being provoked, huh? You're getting old!

I read the title and immediately got warning bells

I have to admit that I have some misplaced admiration that FOSTER somehow manages to find determined ways under a new guise, to come back after being perpetually banned and plague this forum with threads that look like something but ultimately lack substance. He must have so many different email addresses by now, it would be hard to count and keep track even for him.

 

nah, midi note numbers are better

 

I much prefer frequencies...

 

I've passed a couple love notes in high school band I think.

 

yes.

 

Eventually all this will collapse in one singularity: the brown note.

 

Or if you're a jazzer; the blue note..

 

Blue Notes

 

German singer/songwriter Reinhard Mey once sung:

"Wer die Noten liebt, der mache Musik!
Wer Banknoten liebt, mache Politik!"

Who loves musical notes should make music!
Who loves bank notes should do politics!
;)

 

A couple of days I was away, and I missed this.

 

I know exactly what to do with notes.

Cheers for that mate, I'm currently hunting down new music for the first time in years and that's been added to my list. My hunt was initially due to wanting some up to date reference material but I've found so much good music that I've been quite distracted by just listening, which has been very enjoyable.
