@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 11:29 PM) i wonder if he bound his hands and feet before or after decapitating himself
@  Cadenza91 : (18 June 2013 - 11:27 PM) seems legit

@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 11:22 PM) hello
@  Doug Perry : (18 June 2013 - 11:22 PM) but I didn't do much either time so here i am
@  Doug Perry : (18 June 2013 - 11:22 PM) I say kind of because I joined this site once like ten years ago, and then again like five years ago
@  Doug Perry : (18 June 2013 - 11:21 PM) hello young composers, I am kind of new!
@  Cadenza91 : (18 June 2013 - 10:57 PM) I'm not sure what to think of 'simple'...
@  Cadenza91 : (18 June 2013 - 10:56 PM) I only really listen to 'fun' music. not a fan of magnum opuses...
@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 10:16 PM) folk music is a different matter
@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 10:15 PM) at least with respect to composed music
@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 10:14 PM) im not sure if any well constructed music can really be "simple", if there's been any thought put into it at all there are going to be layers of meaning and function and etc
@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 10:10 PM) you mean like haydn? or is that not "simple" enough
@  Ananth Balij... : (18 June 2013 - 09:56 PM) do you guys ever listen to fun, simple music?
@  Cadenza91 : (18 June 2013 - 09:26 PM) I would just like to see the guy's reaction to a downbeat gone unmarked
@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 09:17 PM) the only good contemporary composers are einaudi and carl jenkins
@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 09:17 PM) to be fair that is a pretty radical avant-garde atonal dissonant piece like all the irrelevant music by schoenberg and his followers that nobody actually likes, they just pretend to like to look more intellectual
@  Cadenza91 : (18 June 2013 - 09:05 PM) "It's a good demonstration of the classical music declining. Dissonance, discord, disharmony, the new pot of modern music. A crual weapon against all the laws of good listening, of the common sense. Please stop. You insult one millenium of logic music. You can produce something of "new" and change the limits, but it's a crime to make it."

@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 09:03 PM) at least i tried to get to it and got an "Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.youngcomposers.com" error
@  .fseventsd : (18 June 2013 - 09:03 PM) YC was down earlier today also, i think
@  Cadenza91 : (18 June 2013 - 09:03 PM) forgotten, untouched
@  Cadenza91 : (18 June 2013 - 09:03 PM) YC is like a forgotten bunker from the 50s
