    do you mean like a meme?

     

    no it's like when at a party people make the gigantic mistake of asking what "bands" i like and i have to say "yeahh no i like electronic music" and then they say (with a carhart hat and pbr in hand) "oh ok cool! yeah like actress! really good stuff - it's like a deconstruction of electronic music stuff - like dirty.. conceptual stuff."

     

    me: "yeah man it's good.. not my fav but it's good... what kind of stuff do you think he's deconstructing tho"

     

    *blank stare*

     

    me: *angry, i hate my life stare*

     

    also me: "yo fuck you dude"

     

    still me: "yo i will literally end you right now. it's on"

     

    also still me: "What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo."

    Listening to your own music

    in Music Discussion

    I've made a couple of tracks recently that I enjoy listening to a fair bit. Not because they're objectively that good but because I succeeded in making something I wanted to hear that wasn't just an inferior copy of something that already exists. So it's a yes from me.

    That's a great article, but I don't see how it supports your conclusion - even if the working of the brain is nothing like a digital computer that doesn't mean that a digital computer can't simulate the working of the brain, or even that it needs to do so to mimic the creative process. I hope you'll forgive me for shilling for these again, but

    here
    are a couple of generative melodies I posted a while back in another thread. They were both created with the same simple algorithm - pitches and note lengths were chosen at random with weights depending on the last few notes, and bars were repeated at random with random modifications. Obviously they aren't exactly worthy of Mozart, but the point is that they're better than any melodies I've written the old-fashioned way, despite the process used to create them being completely different from (and much simpler than) whatever is going on in my head. Considering how simple that is to some of the crazy things people are doing with neural networks, it seems almost certain to me that we'll one day reach the point where computers are churning out music to rival the best that humans have to offer faster than we can listen to it, probably within our lifetimes (though I'm more skeptical about the "app that can tell exactly what music it is your brain wants to hear" part).

     

    Dunno how I feel about it to be honest. I mean, I'm definitely apprehensive about the prospect of having spent years trying to reach the point where I can make music that's worth listening to, only to be rendered redundant by a piece of software, but I can't think of any reason to fear it that isn't motivated by my ego. Having an unlimited amount of good music will be bad for people who want to stand in front of a crowd of adoring fans, but good for people who just want to hear good music, which is what we're supposed to pretend we really care about, right?
