Come to Florida one of these days and experience a real sunburn. Even Disneyword isn't enough incentive for me to go back there. My nose practically peeled off.

i lived in florida for about 4 years. didn't like it at all. i'll never go back to stay, although i wouldn't mind visiting some of my friends down there.

unfortunately i also have family down there that i don't want to visit

Organic Beef

Dear god, I think that sentence gave me a hard-on. Now I have the desire to go butcher something that used to run happily on some meadow somewhere, turn it into a dinner for six people and then eat it. Alone.

And he's okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day, he cuts down trees and he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavatrie, on wednesdays he goes shopping and has buttered scones for tea. He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps, he likes to press wildflowers, he puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars. He cuts down trees and wears high heels, suspenders and a bra. He wishes he'd been a girlie, just like his dear papa.

Music is One Rotted Note

The twelve tone system you use to be "creative" (12 radical if you'd care to be so simple) versus creativity. I'd like to know what you think is the difference between music and creativity. This is related to my thesis so please take this simple question seriously and elaborate however you want. I will not judge....

You know you're a sound designer when the first thought you have when you hear rain and thunder is "Oh! I should record this!"

That said, I got some great recordings today.

Difference between music and creativity? I don't feel the words are close enough to need their differences defined. Creativity encompasses all subjects as the way to create something new from pre-existing ideas, synonymous with 'progressive imagination' or something along that line, where as music is a series of ordered vibrations across time. One can be contained in the other, but they are different subject categories entirely.

When asking yourself what is music, you simply think a couple of notes, that is extremely wrong.
Music is sound without organisation, that can be practical or theory.
I n theory, music is like a language, in which you can communicate in a way with anyone else, like a universal language, as is Java to Programming.
In practical you just use your instrument and communicate, it can protray emotion in many ways.

On the other hand, creativiity is the inspiration to push the envelope and try new things, rather than note after note, it goes betyond notes.

Hope I helped.

Definitely. That's the kind of response I wanted. Thanks mister :3

Thursday and friday are national holidays, yaaay ! will be doing nothing for 4 days, 4 days of waking up late, watch porn, go to the beach and drink and stuff like that.. =D

Why is everyone so hung up on music being communication and emotion and stuff. I for one only occasionally try to convey emotions through music, much more often I make songs because it's going to sound awesome. Or at least pleasant. Or in order to convey some kind of structural theme, or an atmosphere. But rarely emotion.

awesome sauce. also great stuff for the thesis. i didn't want to comment on any of the feedback but i think it's strange how people automatically assume music is universal when it's proven time and time again to be entirely regional.

oh how it must suck to be deaf and not understand a universal language.

I feel like as music becomes more and more synthetic, less and less emotion is put into songs, because you can't exactly watch someone programming a synth into a tear-jerking unison saw, like you can while watching someone play their heart out on a piano.

music is like jerking off. you keep doing it and enjoying it until your satisfied then you just critique the shit out of it and feel worse about yourself afterwords and there is always cum all over the place

I've never critiqued myself afterwards...

but fer real this is my thoughts on what music is

Music is a very odd thing. It can be considered a mind altering substance, a form of communication, and a way to express ourselves. For thousands of years we (humans) have been creating music, listening to music, using music for rituals and entertainment and constantly making it more advanced. You could say that birds make music but they really don't. We simply observe it as music because our minds find ways to make sense of different pitches and rhythms and even find a way to enjoy it.
It is actually a theory of mine that when we were tree dwelling monkeys we learned to appreciate "music" because you only heard things of music like quality in a place where you were least likely to get killed. Remember, birds and other musical sounding animals go silent when a very dangerous predator is around.

Music is human, it is primal, it is very advanced and it might be the reason why we have come so far as a species. Because our ears and minds could appreciate what ever we considered music we eventually wanted to mimic sounds and we developed a speech pallet and vocal chords for communication.
Im not trying to turn this into an evolution thing but i believe that music is an essential factor in our advancements as humans.

Even in todays cultures around the world, music is used to convey an emotion, atmosphere or message in many many many different ways from movies, commercials, documentaries, videos, radio and even warfare. From way back in ancient times nations would beat war drums before their arrival to scare the enemy into submission. Just as we do today. I saw a documentary on sound weapons used in the middle east. American troops would blast Slayer and Metallica through directional speakers at trenched in insurgents for sometimes days on end to break them down.

But to answer your question, I believe the definition of music is a rhythm and/or mixture of pitches (amongst many other things we observe with our sense of hearing) that stimulates the mind in an enjoyable way. Many people have what you could call odd musical taste's. Its not odd music even if it is considered noise to most. Its simply rhythms and pitches that are observed by the mind of that person to be enjoyable.

MUSIC IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

Well, music originated with the creation of the Earth around 3000 years ago when Adam sang Rebecca Black's "Friday" to Eve.

How do you go about converting DNA into notes? Considering how abstract an idea that is, literally any note could be most prevalent, it just depends on who is converting it, and how it's being done.

As for the Earth, it has a number of resonant peaks, none of them being F#
