The problem isn't your girlfriend, Mercurioustroll. The problem is your lack of respect for your art. That you would even stoop so low to use your music (which mind you no one here has heard - so we really don't even know if your good or suck) to make her do something against her will. That's a horrible thing really. It speaks volumes of you. Mind you, I think it's quite clear though - your only posting this to troll.. and nothing more.

Speaking AS a woman, I find this to be incredibly offensive, and especially what is stated above. Imagine the tables turned- you cheat on her, she breaks up with you, then wants to control your mind through music so you fall back in love with HER again. Would you not feel used and un-valued? I would find it incredibly sweet if this album you are trying to make had sweet lyrics, a piano sonata dedicated to me, or something similar. But the use of music as mind control to get my feelings back? It doesn't show that you love her- it shows that you view her as an object. My two cents.

You people? Okay, I get it, you're a troll. No one is this elitist and arrogant on accident. Good luck with your exploits. Hopefully you won't run into any psychology board of ethics members. But I do honestly hope this particular project fails miserably, you and your S.O. will definitely be happier if they do. Manipulation rarely results in a healthy relationship.

Yeah go for it man. It's totally okay that's you're abusing her trust and using her as an unwilling guinea pig in an experiment basically with the goal of brainwashing her. For sex probably. What's the worst that could happen. A woman gets hurt? Like a woman's feelings even matter.

Not only unethical -- impossible :blink: Yes, loud music with a beat can increase blood pressure and even make people get more aggressive (like at political rally when they want to get people riled up for their cause). Soft music can relax. Etc. Heck, I even believe that you can tell stories with music -- even being more specific while doing so than some may believe. But mind control? Really? That's just ... not going to happen. Music doesn't control people. Period. If you want to make that album, that's great and all, but don't expect your girlfriend to get back with you as a result unless you have lyrics with your song that really sweep her off her feet or something. (Or maybe just dedicate beautiful music to her?) Not to mention the fact that she cheated on you (and then you broke up with her as a result), sooooo ... her feelings for you are probably only superficial and lustful, not anything more :( Why do you want to get her back anyway?

troll is a troll.....

:blink: Wow. You should be grateful that everyone is handling this so well. Because although there is some humor to be found in this (because it's simply crazy), I think it's a little scary how little you value your girlfriend, not even as your girlfriend but simply as a person. This has got to be the weirdest thread I've ever seen.

There is no hate, this is the internet. Don't give yourself too much credit. I simply have some strong views on the value and treatment of others that appear to come into conflict with yours. The theory itself I have no particular issue with, though I doubt that you can achieve any sort of consistent response to the music that falls in line with your intent. Tailoring specifically to her and in combination with the power of suggestion attached to the titles of the tracks may provoke the effects you're seeking, but it may just as easily be interpreted as a pleasant album of music with an odd premise that doesn't actually make a lasting impact on her. You'll have to see. In some ways I suppose I do for a living what this experiment is attempting to do; construct music that tells stories, manipulates feelings, and provokes specific effects in an audience. That being said, my work is apparently amateurish so I'm sure I have nothing in the way of advice to offer that would be helpful to you. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music though, in any event!

...Yup, this sounds healthy. Just to clarify here...you want to to subjugate your girlfriend via an album of magical mind-control music that will compel her to stay with you forevermore by assaulting her with the unearned guilt of a transgression she has not actually committed in what I assume you feel is a subtle means of coercing her into being an obedient prisoner in a union you're not even serious about? I mean disregarding for a moment the horrid misogyny at play here, I'm going to question why you would go through all this effort — you state early on in your wall of text that if she breaks up with you for this little experiment then you don't care...so then this whole venture is nothing but a power trip...perpetrated against a person you ostensibly care for? Respectfully, I don't think "we" need cover art, a title, or anything to do with this CD. I think you may want to examine your idea of a healthy relationship though. This is not a good way to emerge from depression.

Look up your favorite composers online and see where they went. Also, ask a music teacher or guidance counselor. (Idk how old u are, but it shouldn't really matter.)

I wouldn't rush into a university yet. If you claim to lack motivation as much as you do and don't do so great in school (yet) I would suggest spending time getting a crappy as hell job, until you have the motivation to do better in life in general. Not to be mean or anything, but if you lack motivation to learn, probably wont get very far in your goals.

I've got no knowledge of universities in the USA but good luck. However, seeing as you want to become the "greatest musical composer ever", I suggest you first address the issue of having no motivation to learn and ask yourself, why this is.

Maybe this is why you people will always remain amateur no matter how hard you try to be good. I knew I'd get negative responses like this. You people don't want this to work. I just came here to have you folks agree with me, and perhaps throw in some input. I know this will easily work. Quite obviously you experts were oblivious to the fact that my post contained only perhaps 10% of the complete system to get her mind controlled. She will be much happier in the long run this way. I know all the tools, rules, and systems to use so that I may get this to work exactly the way I want it, with the exact outcome. I hope you all have a wonderful day while I go to the next step, the next level of music.

I can't piece together still, why everyone is so worried about my girlfriend? Are you guys like trying to put yourselves in my place? Get your own girlfriend and treat her so nicely that she leaves you. Girls do not like nice guys, and get out of my shoes please. Don't worry about my girlfriend. This is a music forum, not a relationship forum, and yet all of you still are bashing my idea because I am trying to use it on my girl? Seriously man, get a grip somewhere.
