There is an astronomer who comes on PBS and gives tips on viewing the night sky. He uses a version of this song as his theme song.

edit:
OOps that is not it. The show is called the Star Gazer, the guy is Jack Horkeimer (sp)

Some of the classics from the early 1970's were pretty good. This one is a guitar duet, one 6 string, one 12 string, with special tuning, the end result is pretty nice:

A video from a live performance, but not quite as good:

LOL :smile: :smile: :smile:

You almost just stood in the bear trap.

Why does it take zero talent? What gives *you* the ability to criticize it, are you an artist? Have you even tried to create some electronic music? If so please share.

Artists like Aphex Twin, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis Papathanassiou, Squarepusher: All push the boundaries of music, the compositions are extremely refined and complex. Especially Vangelis as he is influenced by Bozaka (The most complex musical style there is!). These people are musical genius as much as the classical composers were. Your Argument "classical music has stood the test of time" is mute, since the music I am talking about is cutting edge, and new. Its all a matter of opinion, its pointless getting into a "your music is rubbish" argument, as its a matter of perception. Either you like it or you dont, your "techno takes zero talent" is a fallacy, and is wrong, but more to the point is irelevent to the whether someone enjoys the sounds or not!

I give myself the ability. You got to problem with that?

No, WRONG...

No...WRONG. Modern music takes a lot from classical music. More than you may realize.

Yep, and yours is WRONG.

John Mclaughlin, take it away...


WRONG!
 
Wrong... Wrong... Wrong... Wrong... Good argument cyrusabdollahi :rolleyes:

My pleasure.
 
Good RIDDANCE! Take your techno and get out!

This is for people with a finer taste, like Larskpur, and Marlon...
 
paganini rules... but so do Iron Maiden, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

I've actually started to like the piano more than the guitar though to tell you the truth.

edit: and I have to interject the cyrus is right. Classical music is at the root of just about anything you listen too. We still use the 12 note per octave system, with generally 7 tones that we select for a scale, that have a fundamental, a dominant, and a sub-dominant as the major movers of the pieces.

Seriously, unless you listen to japanese, indian, or tribal music, It's probably classically based. Even spanish, egyptian, italian, and french music (to name just a few) are just based of different modes of classical scales.

Blues/Rock is a simplification of the classical scales (retaining the fundamental, dominant, and sub-dominant) called pentatonics (the blues scale actually has an extra note, but it's almost always bent over and around or stepped across, and not used at the start of a measure)

On another note, plenty of bands nowadays mix tribal music, but you probably wouldn't be able to pallate something that's not classicaly based unless you're a musician or a condeneseur of world music.

With pleasure, there's nothing I hate more than a brash adolescent who *thinks* his tastes are "refined"

Enjoy your thread
 
:smile: Techno, your are saying TECHNO is up there with classical...NO WAY...

I would like to see techno write a piece for 40+ people who have to play in perfect step with one another and not use a computer to do it for them.

Why are there no famous schools of techno?

The Paris school of techno, I think not.

Mozart and the like, they are one of a kind. They are giants like Newton... Don't kid yourself!

We still listen to classcial music 250 years later. It's mainstream to our culture...don't believe me, listen to every soundtrack on every movie, every commercial, every song. Its' all derived from classical in one form or another.

It's going to be gone, like ragtime. You will see.

Nice strawman... Explain to me where I asserted "Techno is up there with classical"

cyrusabdollahi there is no point in having a discussion regarding this with *you* because judging by your very brash one liners so far you are not able to.

So tell me then, or attempt to tell me without reverting back to baby talk, how does one classify an "up there" style of music? via the amount of people you need to perform the piece? Is that the gauge of "musical upness?"

Well if it is:

http://www.elsew.com/data/bninterv.htm

I tend to think that it has nothing to do with it. Electronic Music is just as much an "artform" as any classic piece, I am not asserting that its predecessor wasnt "classical." I am asserting that is equal as an art-form. In fact some established artists assert that it is in fact more difficult to manipulate machines to make music than it is classical instruments. I am not talking about easy listening music, but hybrid Jazz and electro sounds, for example Squarepusher, show me a classical piece that is able to invert the use of drums and the rhythm?

No one type of Music is *better* than another, until you define what it is that makes it better. I find it hard to accept that the greatness of a sound is in direct relation to the amount of people it takes to play that sound.

Simple, you have to study for years and years to become a master in classcial music, if your lucky to be that good.

What does it take to make a techno album, a computer and a little imagination?

PAHLEAZE...

Once again you have shown your ignorance of electronic music.

So now you have shifted the goal posts, (once again) to assert that the relationship between a musical style and its greatness is in how long it takes to study to master? :rolleyes:

Make your mind up please

If this is indeed what you are now asserting, it only took Mozart till he was 5 years old. Cant of been that difficult could it?
