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.

By the way it was in the course of reading about acoustics few years ago to learn how to set my system /room right that i discovered the recent acoustical science discoveries about human hearing .. ( i posted an article in my above posts )

Then i discovered why and how musical time is not reducible to physical measured time  (linear Fourier measures) ...

Then i understood  something i never understood about the way great musicians and maestro use musical time...(it is very clear if we listen Furtwangler use of musical time compared to some others maestro as maestro Gergiev pointed to in an article i read.My main example is Schuman 4th symphony, because it was my Schumann work of choice)

 I am also interested by acoustics and linguistic (speech) and the way poets use  the time dimension of speech and also its history and evolution..

 

 

“……….no genre boundaries”.

No matter the genre, sometimes a performance is so locked in and with such strong collective sense of purpose that it brings a different meaning to “spiritual”:

Yes. People get locked into other endeavors also. A pitcher pitches a perfect game. A basketball player scores 40+ points.

When I was teaching poetry, that was the hardest thing to teach. How to get locked into a poem so that you're no longer thinking. Kobe Bryant said to Pau Gasol, "You're the best center in the world. Stop thinking and shoot."

In music, it's the same thing, and musicians touring and playing every night probably don't get locked in all the time. Eddie Harris was during this recording, and you've reminded me that I have some Eddie Harris albums I haven't played in years. Tomorrow.

My pleasure.

A very lucid French  jazz pianist about A.I. invasion of music...

You can listen with auto-translate in English,

"Ultimate danger of A.I., synthesis and predictions" :
