It's interesting how certain composers have a recognizable sound, I started listening to this and right away I thought of "Peter and the Wolf" also by Prokofiev. Once I was listening to a piece that I had never heard before and didn't know who wrote it or what it was titled, and thought "That sounds like Sondheim", and when I checked it out, it turned out to be written by Sondheim.TSBU wrote:I just like the music, if I like it, it's good for meHobbes' Choice wrote:Been there, done that.

There's something about how Beethoven makes use of timpani, and horns that is distinctive too.thedoc wrote:It's interesting how certain composers have a recognizable sound, I started listening to this and right away I thought of "Peter and the Wolf" also by Prokofiev.

Wouldn't say that is bad music, given that it follows a successful commercial formula. But that's the problem: it sounds just exactly as the rest, it's easy predictable and the initial effect has faded.
Never really liked Pearl Jam. Back in the 90's, inside the grunge movement, I think this other band was doing music that was much, much better:TSBU wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDaOgu2CQtI
Music touch feelings and comes from feelings, I've always thought it's related with comunication, a lot (maybe too much, I can't do music because I'm never satisfied with my creation), sometimes I've thought "I need music to explain this". Oh... and... I love Prokofiev too much. I feel so understood when I listen him XD.thedoc wrote:

Neither do I, I like that song, and mostly because of the lyrics. Thanks for the links ^^Conde Lucanor wrote:Never really liked Pearl Jam.

When I was in HS I told someone that the drums could be tuned to a particular note especially the timpani, He called me a liar and said he would never believe anything I said again. If you listen to Bolero you can clearly hear the timpani playing different tones to the music, or the opening section of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" that was used in the movie.Hobbes' Choice wrote: There's something about how Beethoven makes use of timpani, and horns that is distinctive too.
I think he was trying to be 'hip' with his comment.Conde Lucanor wrote:Wouldn't say that is bad music, given that it follows a successful commercial formula. But that's the problem: it sounds just exactly as the rest, it's easy predictable and the initial effect has faded.
That's because the greats compose from their 'soul'. Their essence is in their music. It's the same with great artists. Van Gogh is instantly recognisable.thedoc wrote:

Speaking as a drummer. I can confirm that each skin has an amazing amount of colour to it, and plays differently from the edge to the centre, varying with both the speed and the force of the hit, and the qualities of the stick. Additionally the tone can be altered by the placing of the hand to change the sustain, or by delaying the removal of the stick from the head.thedoc wrote:When I was in HS I told someone that the drums could be tuned to a particular note especially the timpani, He called me a liar and said he would never believe anything I said again.
