encore

modern music makes me angry.


modern, classical music makes me want to punch something. especially things like babbit, or crumb. Henry Nyquist has his famous theorem, and so that makes him an expert in audio things, maybe. he has this theory that because of digital music's limits of sampling frequency, it causes people to become angry.

no, i think it is modern classical music. it's not that i don't get serialism, or atonality, or twelve tone music. i've studied it and understand how it works and solved the twelve tone tables. these people were insane. 1st, it is odd that music is considered an art form considering how many rules and structures it must conform to. it is better suited to it's old classification of a math. but these composers wanted to be different and original. so instead of just breaking rules, they made up new ones. different ones, original ones. and made some of the most disgusting music on the face of the earth. they weren't inspired, there was very little external inspiration in their writings. instead, they drew upon their own ideas. they were modern.

so bring back music that connects with the human emotion. bring back music that touches souls. bring back a heart. don't ban what was created, for it was and will always now be. but do what is right for my little robot heart.

Clark, I am your biggest fan. Someone should've told those composers how fragmented they were so we could tear up their puzzles and put them back together.

Motown for life.
