What does a stone sound like?

[lowshelf]

Very simple. These are the only two options in France, and they are both sad. Third option is called "bidet" (which in the U.S.A. is forbidden, being the U.S. a military/capitalistic dictatorship with inferior toilets).

In hysterics reading these! Going to need a hysterectomy. Bravo!

Oh it's good fun... Like Madlibs... You just take a previous thread derailed by myrnovaganda and quote one of the myrnova posts... and then replace U.S. Or America with the country of your choice... You then replace the Americans with the citizenry of the country you chose... Now, replace democracy with that country's form of government (if different) and voilà! You too can derail threads, force a name change, and cause the OP to edit the title and their posts!

just what I wanted to prove. Thanks

you should have noticed right away... It's basically the post reworded 5 or 6 hundred times... and you wrote it!

The fact that it wasn't painfully obvious just proves that you're an idiot.

The topic could have been interesting for many users, but you derailed it with no reason. Now you yourself are finally confirming you were trolling, and derailing the thread needlessly, on porpose and even insulting, calling names. You confirm you are not interested in the music/audio debate at all, but you entered only to troll. Once again I just proved I am right

wait, you want me to feel some form of remorse for derailing a thread by posting a bunch of antigovernment rhetoric about which ever government I choose to attack?

My aim there was just to prove that: (1) music has a universal code which has nothing to do with sound;

And you failed, just as you always have. Merely saying something does not make it so. It is and will always be a subjective issue (see the Bruno Nettl New Grove article on music that 9V never read), so nothing about it will ever be "proved."

(2) 80-90% of the american users here think that music is sound, that is why they call music "sound" and viceversa, and talk about sound manipulation art as "music";

I on the other hand did disprove this silly notion of yours by pointing to the fact that the ideas of musique concrète began in Europe, by Europeans, and in fact the same ideas still persist among composers all over the world.

You have yet to acknowledge these facts and in fact you changed the subject to "popularity" by responding with your 0.00001% nonsense.

(3) most of them were not really interested in the music/audio debate, they were just trolling.

That's because my thread was not about your music/audio debate. You chose to enter my thread and make it about that. You were actually off topic. Now that I know you will no longer be posting in that thread I will be happy to continue the discussion there.

And that is why in my opinion China are not a real communist. In a real communist hospitals and health care are totally free, no matter of skin color, money, etc.

Communism is where the state owns the means of production (and this is usually extended to services as well), it's not about where the services are provided free of charge - in fact they're never provided free of charge, your tax pays for them - in theory, it should be relatively good value for money because lots of people are paying into the pot of money for your healthcare, and because there are no owners taking a cut of the income as profits.

My last post in the thread called "on music" ended with a "bye bye" as soon as I proved I was right, a week ago or smth. After that I never read it, because I am not very interested in "sound manipulation art" (as stringtapper calls "modern music"). My aim there was just to prove that: (1) music has a universal code which has nothing to do with sound; (2) 80-90% of the american users here think that music is sound, that is why they call music "sound" and viceversa, and talk about sound manipulation art as "music"; (3) most of them were not really interested in the music/audio debate, they were just trolling.

The topic here is about real music and its code (intervals and mathematic relations), not about sound. Besides, Peter Neubaecker is the inventor of Celemony DNA (detection of notes in poliphonic audio material). In other words, he is an expert of "sound" (the phisical phenomenon called by americans "music"). The fact he found a way to "extract" notes (music) from audio material (sound) is one of the main demonstrations that music (the code) and audio (soundwaves) are two different things.

Nonsense. The only mathematical element that is common to ALL cultures of music throughout history is the octave - although the pentatonic scale has been featured in a lot of them.

It's also been proven that tolerance to dissonance (ie mathematically complex, non relational frequencies) increases with exposure to music - which is why a lot of classically trained musicians can enjoy dissonant music like Penderecki's Threnody for Hiroshima. Penderecki was Polish by the way - dissonance is not the preserve of the Americans -

It should also be noted that most of the music we listen to is not mathematically perfect but is a bodge - prior to the "well tempered klavier", instruments were tuned to a specific key because the intervals in "well temperament" are all slightly off so that it's possible to modulate keys within a piece of music and it sounds in tune. The ancient Greeks used an entirely different scale - and to their ears our music would sound strange and dissonant. Also - Arabic scales use microtones.

All sound is music and all music is sound.
