Music: Theory and Practice

530 readers
3 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.

idk why but "Without the Communist Party, there is no China" is so catchy

I've been on a big french pop kick, so a lot of Charlotte Cardin recently.

ooo i like this one, what a great message!

[–] Maeve@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, I tend to do it quite regularly.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I need good music.

But I don't know what.

Noise can cause trauma flashbacks.

Misophonia doesn't help either.

Noise and volume sensitivity is annoying.

What do I listen to? What do I do?

[–] chinawatcherwatcher@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

is there something in particular you're looking for? do you have any old favorites you can return to?

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

There is some pop but it's all depressing dark emo shit that I hate now....

Hmmmmm

Gimme a moment
