I have this energizing rush when I start a new song, but start to lose it once I start to worry about the finished piece, and I basically psych myself out and stop working on it in favor of starting yet another song.

Then there's a customer, and he's thinking to himself, "Oh boy, two cakes!"

    I think it's the curse and blessing of the internet aswell, really. People have the opportunity to reach an audience via platforms like KZread or Soundcloud, but who, in this day and age, has the time to dig so deep and really look for those lesser known, upcoming musicians when it is much easier (also thanks to the internet) to just listen to computer-generated recommendations, suited to your taste like the Discover Weekly-feature by Spotify? I think this is the problem with the abundance you mentioned. People are easily overwhelmed when met with whatever thing when there is an abundance of it. They tend to just go like "fine, whatever, just give me something, I don't wanna browse through all of this" and rarely browse through other playlists or just randomly click at stuff.

    A lot of this is due to the close working relationship composers Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus have with their arranger, Anders Eljas. From what I can recall, during their work on ABBA and writing the musical Chess neither Andersson/Ulvaeus could read or notate music, but were very talented musicians that had a very clear idea of what they *wanted* from the sound of the arrangements. So from their composition and creating demos they were able to effectively communicate the sound of the song to Eljas, who in turn would notate the song out and create the parts for additional instruments (eventually a full orchestra for Chess). Honestly the entire career of Andersson/Ulvaeus is fascinating. After ABBA ended they co-wrote Chess with Tim Rice, which is infamous for its problems on stage but was huge as an initial album, and then retreated to their homeland to write Kristina fran Duvemala, a complex three hour opera that blends classical, traditional scandinavian folk, and that ABBA rock sound, before founding Benny Andersson's Orkester, a Swedish supergroup of sorts that again blends traditional folk and ABBA-style pop with a whole slew of instrumentalists and singers. It's a long and endlessly delightful history of musical invention and canny, catchy songwriting.

    In Russia I heard an advice of subdividing odd time signatures into 2 and 3... which is basically the way it is. But you say "pivo" (beer) for 2 "and "vodochka" ("my dear vodka") for 3. So a quintuplet would be "pivo vodochka". And you could go further with "pi-vo pi-vo vo-do-chka" for ⅞, etc. We slavs all love our alcohol, I guess. xD

    11:53 This question resonates with me quite a bit. In Chile and probably the rest of South America the persecution of musicians in our past dictatorships is still fresh in the collective mind. They were seen as a threat towards the state, and there's now still a generalized feeling that songs bring Change. While I agree that they aren't the catalysts, songs _do_ help to consolidate the feelings of discontent in the general public, and some serve as hymns for the groups of people that are fighting against a cause.

    Yep, as a Chilean myself, I can think of quite a few examples of music that had a measurable social impact, but it's always in the lyrics. For a jazz musician, and especially someone as intellectual as Adam, it's something that they'd probably love to do with the harmony and melody themselves, and that's why they might be skeptic. Quite honestly, Violeta Parra, Víctor Jara, or even Tiro de Gracia (for a more contemporary example) didn't bring anything to the table that was revolutionary - it's always been their lives and lyrics that moved people.

  • @ssatva

    Nicely put! My sense of it is that music can be used by social change actors, so making a contribution for musicians would be to tap into the feelings, the needs and dreams the social change actors are fighting for. Then the music can help spread the ideas and ideals, and act as a rallying cry, political statement in context, and as a soundtrack for the work of it.

    Yes, music can be a powerful vehicle for ideas and feelings. But it can be difficult or even dangerous to be the front figure in a movement. Bob Dylan famously tried to avoid being the front figure people wanted him to be, John Lennon on the other hand seemed to love the attention. And we all know how that turned out. But I'm sad to say that the death of Chilean musicians seldom make it to the world news.

    But djent is not a genre. It's a technique, a musical aesthetic. Like shredding. Any kind of metal that has shredding can be called Shred Metal but it's not a genre. And the Internet didn't create djent, Meshuggah did. The internet just made a meme out of it.

    ErebosGR If I have my facts straight, the term for the technique originated with Meshuggah, but an online metal forum (which Misha Mansoor was a member of) used the term to put a name to their style of metal. So a lot of the Meshuggah inspired bands that followed were known as djent bands. So the Internet turned the technique into a "genre." HeadbangoO next is 111111111111111 haha

And of course Reaktor is another option if you want to explore sound (I started with some eurorack modules bach when it was just the A-100 system and Doepfer was the only actual manufacturer. When I went to college I sold it due to space constraints and got Reaktor soon after that).

    Yeah I feel that. I also don't know why audioslave doesn't get any love. I love rage but something about Chris cornell has always been my jam. I mean audioslave was definitely more pop leaning, but in the early 2000s they were basically the only good rock band on the radio for the most part and because of that I think they got a tiny bit of overexposure, but to this day I don't really see people bring them up and I have no clue why. I do wish they were more political like rage was, but they still did do some of the political stuff they still continued to do as audioslave like having local activist groups at shows to sign people up for getting active in their community and such.

    Regarding analysis of a Hindustani Raga from a western approach (13:25) - I think Adam is absolutely right in that its like comparing apples to oranges. However, what a lot of musicians have done (think John Mclaughlin during his Shakti days) is retrofitted a notion of harmony by utilizing the scales of the Ragas to build chords (akin to Adam and Rick Beato's video on the Lydian scale) As a first step, I wrote code to take all of the Hindustani scales (Thaats) and create triads in every key for every scale. Its a brute force approach, but I'm hoping that combining some computer science and my extremely rudimentary understanding of music, I may be able to eventually come up with a functional place for harmony within the melodic development framework. Here's a link to my blog/charts/code if you find it useful: themodelmusician.com/2018/04/23/enharmonic-envy/
