klep · 11-22-2004, 02:01 PM

i just found this website with an album by some guy on it and i thought i'd download. After the first track i was going to come here and post about it, but then i thought "it can't possibly be that bad, i must have got a corrupted file. i'll download another track". so i did. even more awful.

go there and listen to some of the tracks this guy has released. http://phobos.serve.com/ian_nagoski/

i dont understand how that is music. it's not like i'm someone who says that music isnt music purely because i dont like it. with this i just genuinely do not understand how it could ever be called music.

opinions?

It can be called music because it IS a form of music.

From www.m-w.com:

Quote:

1 a : the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity b : vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony

Like you said

This is quite unique. It's so dark, scary even. This guy could probably make a great score for a horror movie. It's scaring the shit out of my dog too. He keeps looking at the speakers. Yeah I'll say this is music. Just not the kind of music people are used to.

Asta!!

Well, it's not the kind of music that people normally listen to, but yeah, just like vanblah said, it is music. It's definately some of the wierder stuff that I've heard (and I've heard some very wierd music)

Actually it's not too bad. If you like this you should check out Lull and Nordvargr.

I just hope there is something wrong with the files that were originally uploaded so then that way there is a logical explanation to what I have just listened to!

I don't think it's that bad... seems very personal

I don't think it's bad necessarily, it just doesn't cater to my musical tastes

What we are Cannot be transfused into word or book. Our soul from us is infinitely far. However much we give our thoughts the will To be our soul and gesture it abroad, Our hearts are incommunicable still. In what we show ourselves we are ignored. The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged By any skill of thought or trick of seeming. Unto our very selves we are abridged When we would utter to our thought our being. We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams, And each to each other dreams of others' dreams. Fernando Pessoa, 1918
