Lifeforce Of Musiotics

The saddest piece I know, in a Major Key:

I agree it's sad like a little bit above coordinate neutrality without the extremes of bliss which i think it is it's lament...... :(

I speak crazy; I can translate:

Pieces in major keys are always happy,

Pieces in minor keys are always sad,

Except when they're not.

This is my newset post, i intended to illustrate musical nonsense but i am afraid not very successful the task not being easy but not entirely impossible for example when one is composing & stumbles on what doesn't work & instead of correcting it to go with it for the sake of illustrating musical nonsense that being a meritable motive in theoretical musicology to expose all that doesn't work perhaps in the extreme would suffice. :facepalm:

a major 7th is so sad because it is bitonal and in the upper structure containes a minor

bazinga!

A major 7th is so happy because it is bitonal and, in the lower structure, contains a major.

Howdjadoo!

Well then, since it's bitonal,happy + sad = Bliss or C major triad + E Minor triad, which is no wonder i use it a lot in my piano i am attracted to exstacy in musica. The Major 7th presents itself as a " Chordal Paradox " in my quest of musiotics classified accordingly. :nod:

this thread is fail, just read something like Douglas Adams book on Howard Shore's soundtracks to the LotR films if you want direct application to musical devicees and emotion. better yet, just listen to the music deliberately and observe what each device's effect on you is.

This is interesting, Howard Shore is one of my favorite kompozers since he appeared in one of my favorite horror movies though i was not aware of a Douglas Adam book. I will check it out in the future, thanks Connor. :nod:

Furthermore, 60 bpm falls perfectly because it is not too fast to be distracting to diminish concentration for intelligence & memory capacity enhancement nor too slow to be a bore to fall asleep. Also 60 is the geometry of the universe according to the pythagorians thus definitively becomes 240 triangles in the 3d plex as an analogy to 60bpm(Beats per minute). In science " The fight or flight response " becomes apparent in the coordinate emotionology to music because as one fears one retracts & as one is angry one charges forth against the enemy thus a connection to combat is discovered. As for the other two which serve more as a psychological stasis when one is happy one ascends in the coordinate plex & as one is sad one descends from the central matrix. :D

Wow, what a discovery; I would've settled at 59 or 61.

Personally, 59.25834935 is my favorite tempo ever.

I just checked, and, as it turns out, Tokke is correct: 59.25834935, not 60, is objectively the perfect tempo.

Damn Finale playback - it doesn't allow me to set the counter on fractions... settling on 59 as the closest.

:horrified: !,Temporarily deceptive until close examination of the hypnotic subject :D of masterful clockwork, reliable & cohesive that allows the uptimal meditation centers to be relaxed & dubbed with super-learning criteria upon few repetitions to prove itself very effective neuro-saturation of complex information with a motive adamantine. :shiftyninja:

Could somebody Schenker johnbucket's piece, I'm having difficulty finding the Urline amongst such a complex web of motivic development...

I read the first sentence and knew the rest of it would be deep! ;-)

:horrified: Jon Brooks you seem an illustrious kompozer pertaining to your credits, this is indeed enlightening. What is it like to compose profesionally? I have never been comissioned so i am curious if one can make it as a kompozer in today's competative society. :D

I urge someone out there to compose an album entitled " The Four Emotions " if i don't compose it 1st. 1-Happy, 2-Anger, 3-Sad, & 4-Fear( These are in logical order of most to least desired). Like Vivaldi's four seasons for solo piano which is a formittable challenge due to temperment & constraint.

Happy-Spring

Anger-Summer

Sad-Fall

Fear-Winter

But each song should be free of impurities from other emotions which will require dicipline oustanding any form of disarray which am often prone to. Each song should at least also be decent in quality as well. :shifty:

The Formulas are:

1-Happy=somewhat fast tempo + Major Scale

2-Anger=Fast tempo + Minor Scale

3-Sad=Slow tempo + Minor scale

4-Fear=Fast or slow tempo + Chromatic Scale

Hi Marzique Bordex,

Thanks for your message. I find that when composing professionally you have to be careful not to let it kill the passion for writing. Producers and directors often know what they require from the music. Sometimes these limitations are frustrating but at others times very useful. They are usually commissioning the work so write what they want to hear; not what you want to do - unless they leave you with total create freedom.

Deadlines are often very tight. I've worked on a lot of commercials. I remember in 2005 I was briefed to do the music for a commercial for an advertising agency. I was working as an in-house composer in Malaysia at the time. I was given just over an hour to compose, arrange and produce the final music mix. These are the times when you don't think; you just do!

Yes, composing for a living is very competitive... more competitive than a lot of other industries. 12 years ago I read that only 10% of composers are able to make a living from writing music. These days it's even more competitive because millions of people have home studios and can get a decent setup for a good price. The capabilities of these studios sometimes exceed some studios worth $500k some 15-20 years ago.

It's not all down to musical talent though - communication skills, enthusiasm and the ability to constantly move forward are a must too. Some of the most talented composers never get anywhere because they give up. Sometimes people with a mouth and a massive ego (but barely any talent) do really well. Everyone is different! If you have an original and distinct compositional voice and people like it - Jackpot!!

This is based on my experiences. I'm still learning; that never stops. I could write sooooo much more but i guess i should close there. Hope it helps to answer your query.

Kind regards,

Jon

Thank you Jon Brooks, this certainly sounds very realistic & educational regarding the music industry today. I hope to make money from piano books, original compositions to be performed but first i have to find a publisher. Do you know of any companies that accept original compositions for solo piano at the same time present themselves as a new & unique style of music? I have in this site not posted these works i am refering to but i perform them in my house, & it's an odyssey. I await your good word & thank you for taking the time to read this, i've never talked to a professional kompozer, so it's awesome! :D Below is a youtube link as an example of my real music i perform though only one example of my multi-facted style, but the pictures are not my own:

I think you're quite a bit off in your generalizations...It is just not that simple.

Yes! Not simple, but possible with non-impossible odds at conceiving it in the extreme! :musicwhistle:
