antithetical

This was on a website where I buy music gear. It shows a couple(?) creating artificial music in a bucolic setting. It just strikes me as odd.

I would expect such a setting to promote acoustic or folk instruments, but it seems like an odd backdrop for synthesizers. I would think that an urban, “industrial” style would be more fitting.

Did I mention that I hate synthesizers?

Part of the all natural, 100% grassfed, no antibiotics, no artificial preservatives, gluten and GMO free, no herbicides or pesticides ever craze..
But yes, the contradiction is certainly glaring.
Free Range synthesized music...the best kind...


Morons abound.

Legs. The word of the day is legs. Spread the word.

At one of the contract jobs I was working there was a musician that wrote and produced her own music.
She was good, don't get me wrong but she had so many gadgets. Autotune and filters.

I once followed a band and when the guitar player quit the keyboards took over.
She asked me what I thought and I told her.

It had no soul, she was just pushing the keys and sure it took talent but with the flip of the dial she had a sax sound or fuzz guitar.
But it lacked body, no soul.

We are lost to gadgets.

Treason.

The Dems chickens are coming home to roost.

With music, it’s the human imperfections (both organic & planed) that make it special.
Mathematical perfection is not always better.

My Mother never used measuring cups when baking.
Every batch of cake & cookies was slightly unique.

I use measuring cups, and STILL get that effect.

I watched a video recently, the point of which was that “swing” music cannot be defined. The video analyzed various passages from swing recordings and discussed the minute offsets in timing used by the musicians. The case was made that there is no discernible pattern, the musicians just had to know what was right. It could not be duplicated by a machine and no matter how good AI gets, it will always be something that only a human can do.

That's awesome.

The OP, Yeah notice the lady looks straight out of 70s too. I guess maybe it warms up the possible cold heartless feel of computer music to advertise it with these ingredients.
