What's your philosophy regarding " Music theory?"

?

Is Music theory ( how music works) worth learning in your opinion?

  1. Yes

    81.1%
  2. No

    5.7%
  3. Possibly

    9.8%
  4. Whatchoo mean? ( No such thing as how music works ) Foo.

    3.3%
  1. How cool you remember the remix! The remix was an in the box spontaneous mix recorded and arranged in my living room. I wanted that Peter Gabriel "So" era sound. The files then went around the world with amazing contributions and it eventually included a selection of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. https://www.aso.com.au/ it was amazing to be involved. I have composed the two final songs for the last album. The finale will rival Queen.

    Do I have you permission to do an arrangement of that song?
    It would be an honor.
    The song is fabulous .
    That's high quality music that I live for right there.
    I just want to make sure that it okay to do a version of it .
    Super inspiring .
    It's got so much to work with in all the right ways .
    If I post an arrangement I just want to make sure there no copyright violations .
    Do I have your permission?
    I'd like to spent quite a bit of time on it buts it's just going be myself doing anything so it'll take some time .do I have your okay?
    It won't be a copyright issue to put mine?

    What incentive would @Crisis have for believing a single word that comes out of your mouth?
    Today, having been hammered by many forum members for espousing nonsensical theories,
    you desperately want to sound like "all sweetness and light" - with only gushing praise for @Crisis's song.

    BUT when you heard the exact same song before... your exact words were...
    (or should I say you exact repugnant condescending comments were...)

    MMJ: "It's incredibly boring. There is nothing happening. Things repeating for no reason. And the changes that do happen make no sense. It's lifeless."

    This was after you had finished making other ignorant grotesque comments about his other songs like...
    "It's dead pointless self indulgent dribble unlistenable accept to yourself
    You have nothing inside you apparently to express.
    I've only heard music made like that by students the first hour of the first day they download a daw"

    So, given this glaringly wacky inconsistency in your mental states,
    My conclusion would be...
    MMJ is not only full of crap; but he can't even be consistent about which flavour of crap he's serving up from one day to the next.

    You are - in the very literal sense of the word - UNBELIEVABLE - and no-one believes you!

    I think he's innocent. This is the nature of fluid and everchanging belief systems in those who have not chosen religions as guidelines for their lives. We all are at the same boat.:sad:

    But I still can't understand his adherence to music religion's principles.:rofl:

    I don't follow what you are saying.
    I just heard the song right now.
    And why do you keep flip flopping with one moment acting normal to me and then another moment acting like this all the time?
    Can we move past these things or no?

  11. I am tired of fighting. Music is a language of connection to each other. We are all musicians. We are a breed of people set apart from lawyers and accountants. We create. Let us encourage each other to make the best music we can. I have many friends her. I have shared many stories with you. Without this group I would feel very isolated in Australia. Yet because of those of you in New York, you brave Scots in Argentina... when all is said and done, I thank you all. For with you I have a musical family.

    MMJ I am referring to the quote below

    quote "BUT when you heard the exact same song before

    (or should I say you exact repugnant condescending comments were...)

    MMJ: "It's incredibly boring. There is nothing happening. Things repeating for no reason. And the changes that do happen make no sense. It's lifeless."

    From Ad heesive's previous post
    are you denying you posted those comments?

    I dont know why I'm responding to you about this .
    Because you were not part of the convo .
    It had nothing to do with you .
    But wth why not.
    Yes I am denying that heard the exact same song before .and said those things about this song.

    About that other part this is how I know it's a joke from ad heesive .

    "

    Think about it if I said these things about a different song what would that have to do later on in time with a totally different song?

    Those comments were made about different songs by a different user older than crisis account is.

    That why I realized that is was a joke by ad heesive .

    If I read something posted in a thread that I am participating in then I am entitled to express an opinion on it.
    Personally I would never post comments like that about the creative efforts of anyone it is very unpleasant,totally negative,and not constructive in any way. Some people might feel very discouraged and hurt by such nasty criticism

    What's that?
    Comments like that?
    What do you mean ?
    What comments?
    Oh that's just because you seeing a little snippet out of context not seeing the whole situation.
    Just exactly like you are asking about this right now that has nothing to do with you in any fashion.
    You have no access to the details of the situation and so seeing just a little snippet called a
    " Cherry picking "
    About a topic not involved you in any way
    And then not seeing the whole situation.
    It appears different because of all those variables that's all.
    You see our reality which human beings exist in since before me and you were born works in such a way were as you begin to remove variables out of a situation.
    The assessment of that context becomes incorrect the more you remove bits of information out of a situation.
    As it turns out.
    Part of my way old comment cherry picked there .
    Came from a context where my tone was due to the consequences of the person's behavior previous to the comment.
    So when you assess the entire situation seeing all those varibles.
    It entirely makes sense.
    However just clipping a tiny portion out of context
    Yes it appears much different
    (
    This also applies to every moment of life at all times until the end up time.
