Music

[simcity4deluxe 95]

Any one else listen to Trance, I most certainly do and enjoy it everyday. What about you guys? What do you guys listen to?

[Alejandro24 575]

Trance? Maybe you want to see this electronic music map: http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

And, I listen Industrial Music.

[The Avatar 1,088]

I listen to 70's and 80's music.

[x493x 446]

Rap, Hip-hop, stuff that for some reason people like to hate, but I like it.

[bluemoose 223]

As far as electronic music goes, my favorite is Dubstep, the industrial, dirty, skrillex kind. I also like the post-modern bits like Deadmau5. And Folk-Rock-Electronic stuff like Wilco.

But really my tastes range from stripped down guitar folk to alt-rock and most everything in between, (barring Country-Western and Pop/RB/rap, ugh to all those, but for some reason I can appreciate old-school hip-hop... ohwell)

What is Dubstep? I see it on YouTube in the related videos all the time.

Technical Definition Wikipedia, explains the drum beat that constitutes a "dup step" and the genres many facets

Example: Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, by Skrillex skip to :35 for the bass drop, the best part of any Dubstep song, where stuff gets EPIC

That's Techno music, right? According the guide of electronic music that I've post here is Techno Music (of the Detroit Family).

Sorry, but I can't check out the guide, It freezes up on me... There are many takes on Dubstep, but every true dub song has a specific drum beat, usually with a snare every third beat, and usually syncopated and shuffled... and most have a "wobble base" or the wubwubwub sound.... and the best have a bass drop.

It grows out of the UK garage and drum and bass musics and is closely related to dancehall culture. The video I posted is from the strand "Brostep," a strand of post-dubstep.

Its a whole subculture down here. Once you start digging, you'll discover a lot!

This is the description in the guide:

Techno>Classic>Detroit>Minimal>Dub

It comes from Dub House, mostly. Or just plain Dub. Another one of them Caribbean influences that likely makes a lot more sense when mixed with other genres and underneath other, more thumping techno tracks or played around with a lot with effects, rather than just a stand alone genre. I mean, you wouldn't possibly want to listen to a whole CD of this stuff. Unless you plan on going to sleep.

Ok, I never been atracted to the Drumm and Bass or Dubs, but I'll explore.

Have you listened Powernoise Music?

[airman15 4,111]

My musical preference:

Grunge, Rock and Classic Metal. Mostly between the early 70's and late 90's

Have you listened Powernoise Music?

Okay, I got into the guide, and there's no Dubstep... the Dub there is not dubstep, but Id say dubstep's grandaddy would be Rave. Dubstep is like a combination of techno/rave with drum and bass. As for powernoise and noizecore, I get enough mechanical sounds with my dubstep and alt-rock

EDIT: and UK Dancehall, Garage and such grew out of ragga, rave and the Carribbean dancehall

The music I like goes back to the ancient Greeks, but there really isn't any pentatonic music available any more. Skipping forward, I have a liking for Hildegarde von Bingen, then Claudio Monteverdi and pretty much everything after him up to the current genres. However, my son-in-law is a metal musician, and not very good. He has ruined any taste I might have had for that.

What do I listen to? Well, mostly stuff I can get on my Memories music channel which plays stuff i can remember the lyrics for. They play mid 20th century stuff, mostly from 1950 to around 1980. I sometimes listen to the classical channel when I am feeling down. I like grand opera, but prefer to hear it in person. Recordings of opera can't put you in the audience, and neither can most of the movies.

When I compose music, I try to keep to harmonic stuff of the late 19th or early 20th Century styles. I'm not good enough to attempt anything really modern.

Oh, and I enjoy music parody.

I tried dubstep, but it just just wasn't the music for me, but I gave it ago.

[Larks2242 251]

Not a fan of dubstep

My favorite artist is Spice 1, but i also like MC Ren, Daz Dillinger and San Quinn.

[simcity4deluxe 95]

I didn't have much time to look at the map of genres for Trance last night, but now that I have the time, I found out I listen to Progressive Trance. I like because it has powerful melodies and synths, I also need it to dance at speed I dance to.

[Jazzmaster 716]

My favorite artist is Paul Hardcastle. His original work was 80's R&B/Soul, but nowadays he does more mellow jazz contemporary/jazz fusion.

Besides that, I listen to contemporary rock sometimes, I really enjoy classic rock as well. Sometimes I'll throw on some classical music, or some faster D&B/trance/dubstep. I like all sorts of genres.

I like Instrumental metal, Dubstep (Not trying to flame anyone, but skrillex isn't dubstep, The stuff he produces is Complextro), Drum and Bass, Some pop (not auto-tuned stuff that's on every music video show), Rap.

This is pretty much a Summary of modern age dubstep.

There is a full scale jazz revival on in Japan. Recently saw a clip of an all girl band playing "Swing, Swing, Swing". The big bands might be due for a revisit, and this would foretell a new musical genre different from all the rock variations we've been having.

In music there is usually a dip back towards older stuff by about fifty to a hundred years before a new idiom bursts upon the scene. The noises we are hearing now seem to have dead-ended, musicologically speaking.

I don't agree with this. Many actual pieces of music are really great works. Maybe not as Mozart or Bethoveen, but it is important for the actual music. No, I'm not talking about the commercial ones, I'm talking about those artists that really do music.

About the jazz and Japan... Japanese people likes allmost everything, vaselina en pan tostado.

A "great work" endures. True, there are some fine people working now producing good stuff, but in general making a lot of noise with artificially high amplification and distortion comes under my definition of noise. If you look at some of the stuff that endures, it is through-composed and very effective. The Beatles' music was pretty much all written this way, and it is still around. I heard a rendition of Aura Lee recently sung by one E. Presley with the lyric changed to "Love Me Tender". Aura Lee has been around since the beginning of the 20th century at least. There doesn't seem to be an enduring quality about at lot of the garbage that passes as music today.

I get lost, at this point, I need an aclaration. John: What do you consider music and what you consider noise?

And that's totally true: the good music endure.

It is totally subjective and personal, but music is an innate means of communication common to our species. Creating a white noise does not constitute music. No tune, often no rhythm, just a lot of racket.
