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:
Standard GZD rules apply here
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.
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.
No Eurocentricism tolerated. Western (specifically German) music theory and practice being considered inherently superior to the music of other cultures is reactionary.
Popular or classical, western or non-western, communist or even anti-communist, feel free to mention any and all kinds of music here.
the two things you posted are so different from each other haha. it makes me wish there was more proletarian music in a popular style.
what's your favorite track on the slayyter album?
DANCE... i know its really basic, but i LOVE the bass, i love it so much. I think its inspired by Justice which they are on my top 3 contemporary artist. Have you listened to the album? what is yours?
Yessss, i feel exactly the same. Actually, recently i discovered a DAW, which it seems like my dream DAW, its called imbolc and its a terminal based DAW written in Rust. And i plan to really get into it and record english covers of red army choir songs, with a touch of EDM like justice or aloboi.
Do you have any red army choir favorites?
i haven't listened to the album, at least not enough to have a favorite. in fact, this is the first time i'm hearing about slayyyter! i do also like the bass in dance though haha
that sounds really cool!! i've always wanted to get into DAWs but everyone recommends FL and it's such a huge cost. but, at the same time i don't want to build a skill set and then just end up buying FL later and having to learn it all over again. what kinds of DAWs have you used before?
i don't actually have any red army choir favorites either! i'm not really that big into choral music in my spare listening time, to be honest, so it doesn't hit the same as other things do
I think DAW skills are really transferable from software to software. I have tried only open source DAWs like Ardour and LMMS, but i didnt like them.
What music hits you like that?
i guess that's good to hear, then, that makes me less reticent to start doing something. do you have any recommendations for beginner/free DAWs?
hahaha that's so hard for me to answer, honestly. i have a weird relationship to music where i'm very musical but don't purposefully listen to music very often. and, i tend to like a lot of different things for different reasons. but, the most recent song that gave me chills was this
