An experiment in a pen-and-paper composing general, made for all the composition autists
This differs from /prod/ in that it is more focused on the actual writing of music, not the production. That is not to say /prod/'s electronic music is unwelcome, by all means, post here! But post with the intent on discussing composition. And remember, this is NOT /classical/. Any music, such as jazz, pop, rock, country, electronic etc. is acceptable
Post clyps and accompanying notation so we can give accurate feedback.

THE /comp/ COMPOSITION CHALLENGE #3 METERS July 8st - July 15rd
Compose a short piece (around 1 to 2 minutes) with three distinct meters in any instrumentation. Treat these time signatures as meters, rather than just throwing in a different time signature for a bar or two for phrasing purposes. Consider making your meters distinct by considering whether the time signatures you choose are duple or triple; simple, compound or complex/irregular.
BONUS CHALLENGE: Make at least one section of your piece polyrhythmic/polymetric

Really?
It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)!
Listen to your library, show off your backlog, babble about new music, tell us what you've been listening to today and what you will listen to in the following month, pity Jangle's Thrift Tourney, listen to Keiji Haino scream, and just let the good times flow.

Whats the deal with this album? it's just a bunch of acoustic music... what makes it so critically acclaimed?
After seeing it posted so much here I was expecting some mind blowing stuff
>>66384236
The aesthetic.
>>66384236
It's an Emperor's New Clothes situation
Someone gave it a glowing review as a joke and none of the hipster faggots that review music wanted to look like they didn't get it so they followed suit
Brainless sheep on /mu/ and elsewhere parroted these opinions to seem "with it"
In truth it's mediocre at best but the meme of its greatness is now too strong to ever be toppled
>>66384355
I guess you could say it's pretty...
Neutral
Lyrics that make you feel/give you goosebumps
>Carissa was thiry five, you don't just raise two kids then take out your trash and die
>May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her prime
Manowar are lyrical geniuses
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust
Every sleepy light
Must say goodbye
To the day before it dies
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Keep us close to your heart
So if the sky stays dark
We may live on in
Comets and stars

ITT: name a genre you always wanted to get into, why it interests you and others will recc a few albums from that genre that you will enjoy. I'll start with grunge, I love Nirvana's albums but I don't really know where to go from their, I enjoy their harder tracks, with Dave's faster drum playing and Kurts wailing vocals. If anyone wants specific hip hop reccs hmu
Ethiopian Jazz. Only one I know is Mulatu Astatke.

i want new (2014-2016) rappers with strong technical prowess and inventive rhyme schemes that aren't cringeworthingly self-righteous like IT is, say nothing meaningful like aesop, or waste their abilities by using them to turn words into mush like eminem currently does
Should i listen to The Smiths, I didn't like Bona Drag, Your Arsenal and half of Viva Hate.
you have backwards land opinions, so you probably wouldn't like the smiths.
Also forgot to say i have heard a few Smith song before and i didn't like em(How Soon is Now, Please Please and There is A Light)
Give The Smiths and Meat is Murder a try.
