alison January 20, 2012 Share alison Member January 20, 2012 The problem with most R&B, House etc is usually that the majority of the time there are no musicians (especially percussionists/drummers) it's all done by machine, Turntables; but even that is a mockery as most of studio work required to produce around 75% of the tracks is done on a computer using fruity loops software, a far cry from it's birth in the 1940s. I was at a house gig not two weeks ago with a live drummer playing at the back of the dancefloor. There are tons of live house drummers. And even if it's not "live", there is plenty of skill involved in composing electronic music. You don't need to be a virtuoso instrumentalist to be an amazing composer. I'm not going to try get you to like techno if it's not your thing - lots of people just don't like the sound of synthesizers and that's okay - but it's just as valid music as anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPG1770 January 20, 2012 Share MPG1770 GC Server Admin January 20, 2012 I quite enjoy techno, have composed and performed in many clubs (give me a couple of days & I'll post some). The main problem I have, is with the banality of music the record industry imposes on society (just to make money for themselves) makes it difficult for any artist to thrive outside the commercialised culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lousiest February 12, 2012 Author Share lousiest Member February 12, 2012 (edited) Just finished FF XIII. The ending song, sung by Leona Lewis, really lent itself to FF XIII's bitter sweet ending: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfcSw14HXec edit: the above is a collection of cutscenes, not the actual ending, but still contains minor spoilers if you intend to play FF XIII Edited February 12, 2012 by lousiest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsblood February 15, 2012 Share Wolfsblood Member February 15, 2012 (edited) Something a bit different, but it's a song I keep coming back to over and over again Opeth's Blackwater Park. Phenomenal live version recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdWB7-uL3fE Stick with it through the break that starts at the 2:50 mark, or thereabouts, drift away with the melody until the crushing blastbeat finale brings it all back home. Simply exquisite. Edited February 15, 2012 by Wolfsblood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDude May 12, 2012 Share TheDude Member May 12, 2012 hmmm, powerful music... To me that means music that brings up a certain level of emotion or nostalgia. personal example? As a hobby i'm a singer-songwriter myself, but haven't been able to compose anything truely touching i must shamefully admit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
