ICP fans

wait what did I miss?

 

maybe it's because I've been playing this game for like 36 hours straight.

I'm on a quest to defeat Kefka, the seemingly comical court jester, who actually has a heart as black as night, which is revealed when he assassinates his own emperor and uses the power of espers to become a god-like manifestation of pure evil.

what did you do today John.

 

BTW, how is geometry visually reflected in music?

The only thing I can come up with is cymatics maybe, but I don't see how that would bend my mind in half.

get crackin.

 

I can't understand this, but from what I grasped, I would hate music if I approached it in this manner.

You can do that with ICP by the way.

 

Yep. But when you mix both the mathematical comprehension with the purely ecstatic waves, God crawls out of the air and hugs you.

Must be the winter.

 

I've always had a love-hate relationship with math. I think it's interesting, but not to the exclusion of a more intuitive world view. And I really don't like how it is taught in schools. I always had trouble in the higher level maths because they expect you to memorize formulas and take their word for it that they work and are true, without telling you why or how they work, or why someone even came up with it in the first place. It stays abstract I guess, and they want to get you to do problems like a monkey without giving you the conceptual framework to actually understand what is being presented to you.

come on man I'm just messin with you about that.

I don't even give a shit really.

 

Yea I know.
Well, but see this is geometry, so it's more about wrapping your head around the structure of the song, and finding how it blossoms out into both the full face value shape, and the little blooming fractal building blocks of the composotion.
So forget the numbers, it's intensley visual. Even sounds in your head can be geometric in how they are received, though that is far removed from your average person's ability to pick up on.

 

While I wouldn't count ICP as musicians. I disagree with relayer on the rarity of true artists. I think there are a fair amount of musicians I could consider true artists even in the past 2 decades. For example, Ravi Shankar or Iva Bittova.

 

yeah, everyone disagrees with relayer all the time, but he just never learns.

 

Wait, Bear, when did I say true artisits are rare?
There's millions of true artists! But the many are not *true* artists in the same level as a Bach, but rather are a culminative effort at pushing us into higher dimensions of consciousness.
Music, drugs, literature, all these things are letting us look deeper into the nature of reality.
But someone like Bach, or like Einstein, are explosions of creativity and masters of reality.
I in no way meant that true art is rare, and I agree with you, in fact I think the music since 1985 is the best to date (though relativley unknown) but that much is to be expected. If it weren't so, I think life would have proven itself unliveable a long time ago :tongue:

 

Cant say I dont like knowing everything, but it does get hard at times :dupe:

 

masters of maya, you mean.

 

Finish the book Josh lol

 

Sorry I must have misread what you said. I thought you were suggesting that only artists on the level of bach were true artists. :cheers2:

Im pretty excited to see where music goes in the next 10 years or so. I hope to see a fusion between folk and noise rock.

 

ahaha that made me burst out laughing.

I should probably just stop posting for today while I'm still ahead..

wait, am I still ahead??

BTW John, I wanna see the earth measurements for this little number right here..

I did word it wrong, very abruptly and sharp, that's my fault.

But I am excited too, Im working on fusing noise rock with tribal drumming (like Boredoms) but add in some Holy Fuck, some Lightning Bolt, and fuck it, toss in some acid Bach while Im at it

 

I'm not gonna try and tell you guys ICP aren't douche bags.... all I'm gonna say is this...

Im telling you, Yogananda fucks your head up while in your in the midst. Then you got several thousand other pages detailing maya after you finish the Autobiog. I'll still mail some if you like.

But daym, Four Seasons is a classic and a half :cheers2:

 

you have not the right. :boxing_smiley:
