Sounds like Dillinger Escape Plan, especially having the unexpected "jazzy" breakdown between the more aggressive sections. Well done. I'm only 3 minutes in, I'll post more when it's finished

Percussion doesn't make music cause there is no beautiful melodies.

Moon Indigo by Duke the Ellington

You're a bitter young man I pity you Should have gone to ITT Tech and majored in...whatever it is they study By the way, if you don't move you have no right to complain

I don;t know what you mean by "notation", so I'll just say the Mozart piano concertos (..the good ones)

aka extended tonality

Then move? That's the beauty of America. We have CHOICES :)

This is the most boring discussion of all time. Formalist nonsense, who cares theories are behind music.

Wow, did you take that seriously? Man...I'm done with this thread Wow Just wow

I was talking about you buddy. Mr. I wasted money on bottom tier schools and now work as an insurance salesman.

The fact that you said this to YC26 is one of the most ironic things I have ever witnessed in my short 20-something year life. Oh wow you live in New York, I sure am impressed now. There are film composers besides John Williams. He's also pretty old and not considered mainstream anymore really. If we're gonna talk film scores of the Williams generation though, Jerry Goldsmith and some other made a lot of great contributions. I'm not going to debate whether or not they're good because who gives a crap (I like Goldsmith though). Elfman, Zimmer, etc etc sound nothing like John Williams though...at all. Then there's that one French composer who I don't feel like looking up the name of. He wrote the score for Amelie. There's just a lot of stuff, saying it's all John Williams is pretty ignorant. This statement is also ironic. Conservatives failing at conservatism: business as usual in Amurica.

How many people here are familiar with jazz harmony?

Sigh It's hyperbole, Antiatonality...........it's hyperbole. Hyperbole... Did it ever occur to you that my opinion might be different? We're all like snowflakes you know, or so they tell me. Not every post, or springboard for discussion, is simply some ranting soapbox for a person with an opinion. I have my own opinions on things, I'm not here to profess them. I'm just an observer and I OBSERVE things. Ya know? Shame on you for thinking this whole issue is so black and white, the "us v.s. them" thing is just so damn old. I just wanted to make a striking post to spark some conversation on the issue of socialist realism and the traits some schools of postmodernism share with it.
