Music is math

Yeah, really. Music is nothing but numbers, counting, etc.

2+2=Music

GeneticKiss 08.08.2009 02:56 PM

Sorry. The two don't translate well for me. I guess since most music comes to me so naturally, I've never really had to think about it.

Count Mecha 08.08.2009 02:57 PM

Nuclear Physics.

Kylerobert 08.08.2009 03:13 PM

I play music with people who do not like the same music I do..
So I guess I suck at finding people to play with.

I highly disagree with this. This and that theory that if it isn't classical of Jazz, it isn't music.

All that drives my is pitch, chords, melodies, frequencies and all that sh!t when playing music..... the timing / the math part just happens and falls in place to the melody. There is math involved, but math doesn't give music it's character, it's only a component of it. So, to say music is math, well......

floatingslowly 08.08.2009 05:05 PM

!@#$%! doesn't suck at NSFW either. thank fuck it's saturday, huh?

I suck at making friends. I'm far too choosey and discriminate against everyone for the most minor infractions of my rules. I know that it's not their fault. it's just how it's gotta be.

that said, I don't suck at keeping friends. mostly.

Anngella 08.08.2009 05:52 PM

Finishing books
Getting a job
Keeping my room clean for more than a week
Cock and balls
Keeping in touch
Not getting lost

Conrad 08.08.2009 06:04 PM

Yesss, keeping the room clean. Getting it clean is a problem too.

Remembering movies.

Making new friends when I'm all by myself.

Hiding that I'm really pissed off.

Sure, I don't really completely agree with it either and I know what you're saying. Still doesn't deny that the actual, "classic" definition of music is.. well...

I suck at being motivated, keeping horrible jobs, however I no longer suck at cello

Fixing my own car when it craps out.
math/any type of memorization requirements.
burning CD's.
posting my own work in "Post Yr Art or Die".
playing any musical instrument.

Those are just a few and I know I could learn to do them. Just not right now.
