Authorities in the Russian Republic of Chechnya have announced a ban on music that they consider too fast or slow.

80 to 116 BPM. I actually chuckled audibly that the BPM was specified, I assumed it would be extremely vague.

They couldn’t even make it higher than the DAW defaults at 120bpm. So you have new musicians that have never recorded accidentally producing music at 120 and breaking the law. This is the dumbest shit I’ve seen since last week. I don’t typically put anything together that is below 120. Looks like I’m on my way to being a Chechen fugitive.

I'm sure that this will be blatantly enforced against "wrong" types of music that just so happen to be popular among groups the Chechen government, just like Disco Demolition Night was a thinly-veiled race riot.

Shocking.

No house, no techno?!

Suddenly a larger market for those sped up/slowed down ByteDance remixes, depending.

Phonk producers with normal, slowed and speedy versions of their songs were already prepared for this.

What if you are practicing? Can you start slow on the hard bits or do you have to get it right straight away?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

118 is plenty slow

Simple fix: change the time signature. Boom.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

exactly. quarter note at 200bpm is eighth note at 100bpm.

I could never live any place that banned Jungle.
