Wtf is going on with her hair? Her face complexion and make up is on fleek but that hair needs to be restyled. It's weird Bc I've seen one pic of her where both are solid and she looks good. The rest I've seen didn't do it.
>>66137371
yeah it's the only hairstyle I think didn't fit her
>>66137371
Heroin users can't fix their shit
>>66137371
Nothing wrong with her hair.
>>66137416
Like I said one of the two are always off? It's really weird.
>>66137423
She's paid now right? She can shoot all the dope she wants as long as she can get to the stage. Plus it's always a dif color so she cares to some extent. Doesn't she hv a stylist or at least ask someone before she takes stage?
>>66137573
She looks like a tiny gonzaga era Adam Morrison with his hair dyed pink.
>>66136695
I like her hair
>>66137598
She changes her hair color - in part - to perform socialogical experiments.
>G:Semiotics are really important. Visuals are really important. Instagram is so much more effective. Words can be taken out of context, but a picture is a picture. Think about a lot of the great leaders– or not necessarily great, but powerful. They always had really extreme aesthetics. Genghis Khan. Mussolini. I’m not pro-fascist, but people really respond to aesthetics. I’ve done these sociological tests where I try different hair colours. Blue and purple hair gets the most likes on Instagram. It’s almost double the likes that it is for blonde, brown or pink. I find it very interesting that you can directly measure what kind of visuals people respond to.
>A: I wonder what that means. Is it that people just like blue hair better?
>G: I’ve noticed that people often gravitate toward things that are less flattering. Candid pictures often get more likes than if I did a photo shoot in a magazine. That’s not always the case, but often less sexy, less pretty things do better. I think people respond better to things that walk that middle ground. Every time I dress like a guy or anything androgynous, people love that. I don’t know, the bro-ier I present myself, the better the response.
The whole thing is a great read.

Thank you I will check out. I think the pink isn't a good color for her but i can deal. I think the actual cut/style is bad tho.

>>66138067
Like this one, color looks good. First pic is good then she just decided to cut her bangs at a slant? That makes the last pic look silly to me.

>>66138157
She changes her look often. For the last one I wanted a pic with her with a wide smile, meaning increasing success. Grimes is goofy anyway.

it's literally 1-4-5
the most commonly used chord progression in pop music. 90% of the songs on the radio do the same thing
>>66138374
I don't care. The end result sounds gorgeous to my ears. Maybe the synth tones also contributed to this feeling.
>>66138370
Thanks! Sounds great. (i don't like the dancers though)
>>66138374
By the way listen to the instrumental version: https://clyp.it/xdpyu0k4
There are lots of sounds going on. Listen to the whole thing. Could you ever make something like that (incl. production)?
>>66138547
>>66138438
>synth tones
>incl. production
i'm not talking about production. i don't know very much about production and i'm not going to pretend i'm in any place to critique it. for all i know she might be a talented producer. what i'm trying to say is that the actual musical composition itself is extremely simplistic and that you shouldn't be calling her a talented musician
>>66138315
>>66138637
>meems
>>66138627
simplicity =/= bad
To make music this catchy/likeable it takes talent. That's why almost nobody cares about classical and jazz: lots of notes and no emotion.
Btw what is your opinion about minimalist, serialist or ambient artists?
>>66138067
My interpretation
>>66138728
the claire from that interview is the best claire in my opinion
>>66138256
You butchered the chord progression in the first 5 seconds: It's supposed to be IV - V - I. You did IV - V - i. Which is what it should be since most of the rest of the song is pretty solidly in Eb Minor. However, since she likes to play with people's expectations:
>“I like building expectations, and then stressing people out by explicitly not doing THE THING,”
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/09/28/pop-for-misfits
She throws in a Major to keep the listener guessing.
I could go on, but I think people get the point.

>A fairly regular Vancouver kid, with interests like anime, Harry Potter and Mariah Carey, it was during her adolescence that, as Garossino puts it, “something very strange happened.”
>“She changed into some kind of super-brain, exploring the internet all the time.”
>Teenage Boucher’s obsessions ranged from space travel, to the twelfth-century composer Abbess Hildegard von Bingen, to Russian existentialist lit. She crushed so hard on Dostoyevsky that she even flew to St. Petersburg to attend an intensive Russian immersion.
>But as with Grimes’ music, Boucher preferred autodidactism. Garossino recalls hearing Boucher teach one of Chopin’s nocturnes to herself, bar by bar. But only through the wall—at the time, Boucher had too much stage fright to even play the piano in front of her mother.
>“Something that people don't understand about Claire is her searing intellect and focus,” Garossino said. “Whenever you think you've figured her out, she's already three moves ahead. Things are never what they seem.”
>Her mother related how at McGill, the wunderkind wanted to take physics, but couldn’t stand introductory courses. Instead, Boucher entered higher-level classes and studied the prerequisite material at the same time. “She would nearly kill herself studying—surviving on almost no sleep for weeks at a time.”
>“And that's how she makes music today. In long, solitary blasts of blistering intensity.”
>>66138776
oh wow she listens to old russian classic, the cure, new order, and xiu xiu so impressive bro!
>>66138895
She doesn't brag about her taste that ranges from the most uncool stuff like Mariah Carey or Lana Del Rey to sophisticated stuff like Fennesz, Autechre and Shostakovich.
>>66139052
>the electronic wankfest that is autechre

>>66139089
Seriously, that's an edgy opinion. Autechre are sophisticated and special.
Something to read.
>>66138233
Ya it's a cool pic, I like what you did. I guess the hair thing is just a part of her goofiness then? I know nothing about her as a person. I've listened to each album and found tracks that are amazing but don't find myself listening to a whole album ever. She's a great songwriter just not my thing. Thanks for answering questions anons in the grimes thread.
>>66138775
Self correction - it's actually more complex than I said. Be a Body starts with a jarringly disconnected IV - V - III progression wherein the III is actually a momentary dip into the relative major key's I (aka a I of III) thereby falsely leading the listener to believe that the song is in a major key (an effect further emphasized by spelling the III(I) chord in 1st inversion putting the incalcitrant major third of the chord at the bottom ). It's only when the true bass line comes in that the true Eb minor base of the rest of the song is revealed.
>>66139170
I don't know music theory but that may explain why this song is so fascinating.

Grimes looks so mysterious and weird in this pic (disregarding your edits). There's something fascinating about her.
>>66138724
jazz is all emotion though
like hate on classical all you like, it's whatever
but jazz was born on emotion. it took the mantle from the Blues as the way for inner city minorities to express their frustrations at society and it comes through so clearly.
free jazz fucking sucks, though.
>>66139405
she looks like an opiod junkie.
>>66139387
>I hope you don't actually believe this
I actually like some classical and jazz. But let's face it, many times it's just music wankery (like prog rock for instance). Too much emphasis on technical aspects and too less on LIKEABLE music.
>>66139170
That's legit, it's one of the songs I enjoyed and it was out of the norm compared to other ones I think of when her name comes up.
Fuck grimes her bff hana is hotter
>>66139324
underrate post
why can't people just get along and respect each other as individuals?
>>66139216
Much of the vocal line is also sung on either the Tonic or Dominant of the scale with only occasional half or whole step movements up or down. This furthers the key quality ambiguity since I (aka Tonic) and V (aka Dominant) are the same for parallel major minor keys. Although in this case the Dominant is technically the same pitch as the major third in the parallel major's I chord. It gives most of the rest of the entire song a phantom sense of being in a major key - despite the fact that it isn't (there's a middle section where the vocals focus on the minor third of the scale.)
>>66139567
Seriously, how much time it takes to learn music theory and to detect the chords in a song by simply listening to it? It's hard?
>>66138256
lmaooooo
What album is her best?
>>66139627
Imo it wasn't but I started learning instruments at 6 so I had music teachers help me to learn pitches and how to tell if I'm flat or sharp. By the time I got to a point in high school where I could choose theory I knew a lot and had foundation to build on. If you have no training the book learning stuff will be easy to understand (chord progressions, key sig, time, relative major/minor etc) identifying the actual note or chord will be harder. It took a long time to get my ears to hear the differences but it clicks eventually you just gotta find a way to tell it apart. For me colors are what I used to tell notes apart and darker and lighter for sharp and flat. I also use middle c as my constant to help figure where or what chord/note is used if I can't pick up on a certain one. If you can buy a hymnal and go through each page and name the time, key sig, chords and progression. I did those for days in theory. They sucked but it gets you to find patterns then eventually correlate them to that same pattern when listening to a piece of music.
>>66140052
Visions.
>>66139627
Learning theory is actually not that hard or important of an accomplishment in the grand scheme of things - at least initially (When you get down to it, theory is just a system for documenting sounds in a written-language friendly format.) The most important/hardest thing to achieve is a well-trained ear (aka the ability to recognize tones, chord qualities, scale patterns, etc) in your head, the only way of which is to listen to LOTS of music until you can intuitively sense the sonic patterns going on.
I had the good fortune of being exposed to lots of music starting at a VERY young age, and so my ear training matured long before music theory even entered into the equation. Case in point - I've been performing as a classical musician on a professional level since I was 8, despite the fact that my first formal study of music theory didn't come until I was 23 or so. To this day my ear is still vastly superior to my ability to write things down in theoretical form (hence my self-corrections up thread.)
Having a well-trained ear is an EXTREMELY rare talent, and it's the primary reason why I have such high a respect for Grimes - because it's something that she displays so clearly.
>>66139245
thanks dude, I'm sure Claire will like it too
>>66140061
>>66140515
Thanks for explanation.
>>66140566
NP it's cool to see people take an interest in music theory and want to learn it. It's like learning a master instrument where you may not know exact finger or slide positions but you know what note or chord it's making. It also made learning other instruments easier because once I learned correct fingering, slide or shape I'd know already know where to go where to go next. I had a jazz teacher and we would fuck around and play random notes while he sat in the other room and listened. He'd come back with all of them written down and perfect. Or he'd tell us the pitches of random things at school i.e. Bell, cash register, whistle etc. it makes you appreciate music a lot more too. My tastes got a lot more broad and i could hear more layers to songs.
I like grimes but you guys are fucking weird

Not even overhyped. She just has dozens/hundreds of /mu/-male beta virgins in love with her because she sounds "cute" and looks quirky. So what you see about her here is really skewed.
She is talented, but if she was ugly or had a more normal voice you'd have only like 3% of the Grimes threads you see today.
>>66143797
U MAD?
>>66139170
I don't know a ton about music theory, but I feel she also makes pretty versatile use of rhythm, in a way not found in most pop/synthpop music. Would that be an accurate statement? Like the weird skipping arp in Oblivion. And all her beats just sound kind of swing-y and dynamic.

>>66144465
Imo her rhythms are all over the place - and I mean that in a good way. Based on what I've read/watched/seen with my own eyes her rhythmic sense comes directly her history with suffering from a severe case of a neurological movement disorder called Restless Legs Syndrome. If you wanna understand why her rhythms sound the way they do, just watch her perform live.

Just wanna say:
The Flesh Without Blood video was pretty good.
The Kill V. Maime video was fucking fantastic.
The Californa video was shit. I watched it once and repressed the memory.
>>66148617
I liked the california vid.
It was kinda formless and not as good as her other ones, but it was also rushed and came under technical difficulties. Despite all that the track vibed with the video really well.
Can't wait to see Butterfly (or is it WPII they are doing first for the lofi?)/Venus Fly, whichever comes next.
I think it's important to note that there are 2 kinds of Grimes videos: The Genesis/Go kind and the Vanessa/Oblivion kind. The ones that were clearly planned out and methodically executed and the ones that are just a camera following Claire. California was weird because it kind of felt like it struck a middle ground between the two, which is interesting because it seems the latter of the two kinds end up as fan favorites.
Barely anybody says anything about her hifi videos like Genesis and Kill V. Maim, despite being extremely well done.

Interesting observation, I see what you mean about the lofi being more than just REALiTi.
They seem to be the more personal songs and don't really consist of a lot of acting. Just claire dancing around some world. Like they're more engaging.

I feel bad every time I see "image.jpg" because I know their overpriced (and garbage) phone re-encoded the image before uploading, at a loss of quality.
Not so long ago the logic dictating this was very, very stupid, and incredibly lazy. It wouldn't even check that the new file was smaller, or if it contained an alpha channel / metadata and would just strip it. There were obvious cases where paletted pngs exhaustively compressed over millions of iterations would get spat out of an iGarbage 400% larger and with major quality loss. The "feature" was not opt-in, is designed to save AT&T bandwidth, and was difficult (or impossible) to disable. Things have not changed much.
If people stopped buying garbage, there would stop being garbage. "Vote with your wallet" nonsense has never and will never produce the ideal outcome. The ignorant majority will outweigh you every time.

Well that certainly takes the cake for the most unsettling thing I've listened to at 3:00 AM on the dot, ever.
Grimes, the project of Montreal-based singer-songwriter Claire Boucher, coined a surreal form of dance-pop on the cassette Geidi Primes(2010). Highlights are Feyd Rautha Dark Heart, in which her soft mantra cycles around a tribal hypnotic polyrhtyhm, and the syncopated clockwork of Vanessa, which also offers the most spectacular demo of her sensual/childish super-ethereal falsetto.
After repeating herself with less magic on Halfaxa (2011), Boucher shifted gear: Visions (2012) veered dangerously towards synth-pop of the 1980s, the fad of the moment (the tinkling and jumping Genesis, the sensual and subliminal Nightmusic, the Chinese-opera inspired Oblivion, the syncopated ballet Vowels = Space and Time).
Geidi Primes - 7/10
Halfaxa - 6/10
Vision - 6/10

>technical art good because of the complexity of skills and composition
see you run into the problem there with that if something like that is art, you can't expect me to reasonably give a single fuck about it then when it's only merit is it's technical complexity and design.
not when something like the demoscene exists and is on a scale of design and complexity that makes even the most intricate compositions seem like an infant gyrated a crayon onto a wall.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjzeP7hYyNo
>>66150420
and if the most intricate and technical of arts is objectively the best, i guess that means top-level motorsports engineering is the highest form of art that there is.
baka at that fool.
>>66138724
What does it say about the ''artist'' if he or she makes ''music'' just to be catchy? And have you ever heard her make music in any other chord progressions rather than the standard and safe I-IV-V? (example (C major): C-F-G-C (root))
Isn't that ''too safe''? Where's the originality in that? And what was that about jazz songs not being ''catchy''? Here's two great examples:

If you were a musician, you would be ashamed of what you're saying.
how did she get so cool?
>>66150560
if you knew anything about anything but music you'd understand what I was saying
let me give you some perspective, that demo is produced by an application that is 64 kilobytes. It uses nothing but a single exe.
>>66150460
this photo is 10 times bigger than the single file nessecary to create that imagery.
if you have even the slightest clue of what goes into computing 3d graphics, you'd understand how fucking absolutely insane that is. That's not even the tip of the iceberg.
This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT_rlKRT4K8 was made with an application one hundred and sixty times smaller than that picture. THAT PICTURE.
One hundred and sixty times.
You can sit on your ass all day and ponder at the genius of cascading brass and heavy drums arranged in a specific order, but you are 100% deluded if you think there is a single musical composition that even scratches the surface of complexity available in other forms of art.
I'd be willing to wager not a single classical piece could match the complexity of Ulysses.

>OK musician, do you seriously consider making drum beat loops on a computer music? Is computer an instrument?
Yes actually, because I'm not retarded and feel like I have to justify my interests with a bastardized no true scotsman fallacy.
>And what about refuting my claims about the most common chord progressions used by 99% of pop ''musicians''?
You seem to have this stupid reverence for music. Don't. Those chords exist because some people (hey here's the big secret, don't miss out on it) want to make music that is easy to listen to. that is sensual.
Music isn't some steeped holy practice sent down by the gods, it's behavior evolved out of your hairy ancestors smacking rocks together, hooting and banging their hands on empty logs in a sign of territorial dominance. It doesn't matter how much you abstract it behind strings or skins of animals or pipes of metal or plastics and circuits, it's all just dust mites screaming into the vast expanse of nothing because it's their imperative.
elevating it onto this thing where unless something is a certain level of pretentious is fucking ridiculous and you should end your sad existence if that's actually a part of your view.
culture sucks and is meaningless garbage here to distract you until your end. stop bitching about what's better than what and let everybody enjoy what they like.
that's the fucking message here that seems like it will never stop flying over your head. we continually throw it lower and lower and you respond by squatting lower and lower. enough.
I saw the album art for Halfaxa and listened to it on a very weak whim. I easily could have passed it by and not ever come to a point when I would have been spurred to listen.
Humans are machines. Without the means to think a thought, a mind will not think it. Imagine how many albums and artists exist that remain unknown because things played out just as above, and one is of finite mind, finite states, and finite time.

You're clearly not a musician and you accept whatever mediocre mainstream music is out there, just because it's out there and because it's popular. Sorry, but I just can't accept that. I realize that there is good music and musicians even nowadays and I try my best to find out who they are and listen to them. I won't settle mediocrity and never will, just because that a socially acceptable behavior of a common human sheep. By the way, there are actual good pop musicians like Michael Jackson, Phil Collins (it pains me to say this), Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Mariah Carey. And I haven't once seen any of those musicians mentioned here.

You again. Same sentences as before (on the previous thread). Stop it.

What did she mean by this?
>>66152806
>Grimes doesn't buy the newage (trans)gender nonsense
>Doesn't embrace the human species slowly embracing false attempts to become something new, and conform to destructive social dogma
Neat. Though she's not male, so comparatively safer when it comes to being framed as a bigot for having a non-feel-good realistic perspective.
>>66152806

it's weird that she's a big fan of marilyn manson

She's hotter for years already.
>>66151654
The industries market to the peoples interest, they're not trying to form some societal hivemind and generate tinfoil money, people are plenty vulnerable and marketable to begin with. Taking the cooperate D won't warn people listen to the kind of music he made, Zappa is eternal buttmad and delusional. At worst these industries have pushed superficial talents for people to idolize, that's fine, the majority of listeners aren't that creative or have peculiar personalities that relate more to alt music. It's common knowledge for pop stars to have not written any of their own shit now, in fact this is unfairly assumed on pop artists when that might not be the case. His opinions are outdated now, but he wouldn't have appreciated how something like Adele can actually be important to people, Zappa was a jerk.
>>66153009
She got past the "cute" image, it needed to be done.
>>66153200
It would be difficult to have some sort of public image, no matter how "visible" you are internally at any given time.
There's an element of locking in. Took me years to get passed it, though I barely communicate or form substantial relationships with other people. That's probably why.
>>66152699

Your claims are wrong and you know that. You don't fool anyone with that Frank Zappa video, there were different times for music industry then. Things changed, there's internet now.
>You're clearly not a musician and you accept whatever mediocre mainstream music is out there, just because it's out there and because it's popular.
Since when Grimes is mainstream? She's an indie artist. And she's great. You don't need to be a musician to appreciate music in the same way you don't need to be an actor to appreciate films. In fact it's reversed: if you're a musician you're more jaded towards music, there's little magic left in it. Everything is exposed (this is X chord, this is Y transition). Exactly like a game programmer playing games: you always find mistakes involuntarily/evaluate technical aspects and can't really appreciate the emotional aspect.
>Sorry, but I just can't accept that. I realize that there is good music and musicians even nowadays and I try my best to find out who they are and listen to them. I won't settle mediocrity and never will, just because that a socially acceptable behavior of a common human sheep.
Music is subjective so your definition of mediocrity is also subjective. Liking music is a profoundly subjective thing: you can't stop the feelings. If you like something you like it for what it is. Also your elitist attitude stinks. The red pill: you're also a common human sheep, maybe even a NEET.
>By the way, there are actual good pop musicians like Michael Jackson, Phil Collins (it pains me to say this), Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Mariah Carey. And I haven't once seen any of those musicians mentioned here.
Because they're fucking boring. Everything to be said about them has been said. They're always on the radio, so what's the point in discussing them? Why not discussing a genuinely exciting artist like Grimes? Her music is much more interesting than those old bores.
Grimes:
>singer
>songwriter
>producer
>sound engineer
>lyricist
>live performer
>visual artist
>music video director
Pretty much the complete artist.
>>66153540
doesn't mean that she'd be good in any of those things
>>66153658
doesn't mean, but she is
>>66153658
It doesn't mean, but the fact her craft is beloved by fans and critics means that she's good. Maybe not for you...
I don't get you people. Every day making same thread.
Is there really that much to talk about grimes or you are just repeating yourselves every day?
>>66153510
There's no point in ''arguing'' about music with you or anyone who isn't a musician apparently.
>>66153698
>Is there really that much to talk about grimes or you are just repeating yourselves every day?
Some things are repeated (the memes) but others are different. Actually put two different Grimes threads side by side and see for yourself if they're identical or not.
>>66153540
How does she cope with that, doing it all on her own..
What is Grimes' most emotional song?
>>66150373
Yes, but does it have MIDI input?
>>66153805
Pretty well. She likes to be in control of everything.
>>66153540
>songwriter
>lyricist
the same in her case
>>66153888
They're different things done by the same person in this case. But they're different.
>>66153888
yeah, performing also include singing
that's >>66153540 just another delusional grimesfag
>>66153913
>yeah, performing also include singing
But singing doesn't include performing in front of an audience. You could be a studio only singer. When she's singing live, she's also playing synths/samplers/mixers and she's dancing like there's no tomorrow. 3 jobs in 1. So, this must be mentioned and you're a delusional idiot.
>>66153913
Just another delusional Clairebasher.
>>66153009
Yes. For whatever (genetic) reasons people who are part Ukrainian and part Italian have this tendency to physically age really slowly. I have a very similar ethnic background to Grimes, and everyone in my family looks 10 - 20 years younger than they really are. It's great when your sixty, but not so much fun when your thirty.
>>66154029
+1. When he will eventually get into her music he will look back at his stupid and pointess posts and he will regret. It will be too late.

I know you're sarcastic, but those tags >>66153540 are enough. Your list contains lots of duplicates (synonyms).

you should mention them all next time, she's the most complete artist

Nobody knows. It's the main reason why so many people in the industry are amazed/shocked/enamored/threatened by her. She apparently has no limits.

"Good" question. It's like that: you don't like it =/= bad.

Are you a jazz, rock or a classical musician by any chance? If you are, I think that you agree with everything I've said about the mainstream pop ''artists''.

Also, my mother's side of the family is similar. Great grandmother lived to be 101, grandmother is 75 and looks 60, mother is 56 and looks 40. Functional aspects included.

>The Californa video was shit. I watched it once and repressed the memory.
Wasn't too hot on it myself (more of a 'meh' reaction desu.) But then I stumbled on this article:
http://www.dailycal.org/2016/05/11/grimes-new-music-video-is-top-notch-experimental-cinema/
>The video’s craziest formal experiment is its play with aspect ratios and visual frames. It’s a similar experiment that we saw in Beyonce’s Lemonade, but the Boucher siblings bump up the experiment to a psychedelic extreme. The video flickers through different aspect ratios, beat by beat, and the music video’s visual climax shows one shot couched in four other shots, like Russian dolls, and each one of the shots is rich with color and movement. It’s visual anarchy.
>And that seems to be the main theme of the music video — you should just try things out and have fun. Throughout the video, Boucher hops around, puts on different costumes and flickers into different identities — the singer, the sculptor, the dancer and the urbanite. It doesn’t even matter if these identities are “true” to herself or if they are too weird for the public. It can be exhilarating to just be different people at different times. And whether she’s wearing a cowboy hat or a beret, she’s just Claire Boucher in the end, anyway.
I've now watched it over 35 times and I don't even like the new song arrangement.
