July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Motivational Monday! "A lot of it starts with playing instruments and working with other people...some of the new generation is doing it on computers and they don't have a clue as to how to play anything." -Musician Ray Parker Jr. , born on this day in 1954. How does "it" start for you, whatever "it" is?{/size Reference: Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/electronic_music.html Twitter: Look up Quotes about music by musicians "For me, one of the downfalls of electronic music is that it can feel a little soulless or robotic." Flume Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/electronic_music.html "Everyone making electronic music has the same tool kits and templates. You listen, and you feel like it can be done on an iPad. If everybody knows all the tricks, it's no more magic." Thomas Bangalter Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasbang711519.html?src=t_electron... For me, Ray Parker Jr. is talking about the reality of the performance. When Ghostbusters II came out Parker was quoted in comments about the new movie. Although he did not dislike the situation he wished he had been consulted about the way the music was produced and presented. There are a lot of quotes on Twitter by musicians comparing real performance enhanced by communication with real performers versus computer generated music. It, can be the development of talent that comes with playing instruments and interacting with other talented musicians in real time. That wonderful interaction between talented people can never be replaced no matter how strong the use of computer generated sounds become. Computer generated sounds are shadows of real live abilities by living creatures. ![Merit Badge in Blogging
