Music: Theory and Practice

497 readers
2 users here now

This is a community to engage in musical theory and practice. What exactly does that mean?

To that end, this is simply a space for people of varying backgrounds and education to share music and their thoughts about music. Musical study via the history of music is also encouraged.

Rules:

  1. Standard GZD rules apply here

  2. No elitism tolerated. The value of music is ultimately determined by how socially necessary it is, i.e. how much people like it and interact with it.

  3. By the same token, no anti-intellectualism tolerated. Like anything in the world, music is something worthy of study that everyone can always learn more about.

  4. No Eurocentricism tolerated. Western (specifically German) music theory and practice being considered inherently superior to the music of other cultures is reactionary.

Lô Borges - A Via-Láctea one of my favourite albums that I've listened to these last few years. You may know Clube da Esquina and he was in it (or if you didn't know go listen to the self-titled album which is am absolute classic)

Broadcast - Illumination Broadcast has a melancholic kinda psych style with samples and synths, they're kinda related to Stereolab in style

T-Square - Life is a Music one of biggest jazz fusion bands in Japan. I've been listening to their first albums from the late 70s
