Music: Theory and Practice

18 readers
1 users here now

This is a community to engage in musical theory and practice. What exactly does that mean?

To that end, this is simply a space for people of varying backgrounds and education to share music and their thoughts about music. Musical study via the history of music is also encouraged.

Rules:

  1. Standard GZD rules apply here

  2. No elitism tolerated. The value of music is ultimately determined by how socially necessary it is, i.e. how much people like it and interact with it.

  3. By the same token, no anti-intellectualism tolerated. Like anything in the world, music is something worthy of study that everyone can always learn more about.

  4. No Eurocentricism tolerated. Western (specifically German) music theory and practice being considered inherently superior to the music of other cultures is reactionary.

Ya know that radio sounding effects on some parts of some songs? Here's the tutorial. Just cut off a big chunk of the bass and treble like in this example

I’m pimping another community that focuses on writing songwriting, I hope that is okay. I created https://lemmy.world/c/songaweek which is modeled after the reddit sub songaweek.

Every Thursday a new theme is posted. We all spend the next week writing a new song. By Thursday we have our song as done as we can get it and then we post it here for everyone to hear. We then will give feedback on the song, no negative critiques please. These songs were written, recorded and mixed in 7 days. We want to encourage song writing. Your song does not need to use the provided theme, write about about whatever you want. The provided theme is just to get you started.

This weeks theme is the chord progression i-VII-VI-V. I’d love to see all of you there. https://lemmy.world/post/1884588

Listen to this for help in concentration while you're doing things.

Again, use this to study or read, especially if you have ADHD.

Lower or raise the volume to the optimal level.
