Let's talk music, no genre boundaries


This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

i guessed all comparison right as the pianist...save the round 4  i fail as the pianist...

A.I. is not so good...

But it will be...

 Then we will loose our soul and hope under monster oligarchs ...

Soon...

I don't think AI can produce "real" art until it has a sense of mortality, love, loss, hearbreak, and a number of other very human emotions that art comes from.

I don't think what we consider art came along until we were considered to be Homos spiens rather than any species preceding. In fact, one of the attributes that defines Homos sapiens is art, as well as sophisticated tool making. For a million years or more Homos erectus and Homo heidelbergensis had simple tools that didn't improve over that million years. Than, slam, bam, boom, there was an explosion of tool making, art, sophisticated burials and other things that defined Homos sapiens. That sudden eruption of consciousness is mysterious and it is who we are. 

I dont think that A.I. could play as Maria Yudina the woman Stalin could not kill even when she refused his money answering that she will pray for his sins in his face :

No other pianist play Schubert so fiercely and with freedom   as if she danced with Schubert heart...
