I thought the whole "shutitanddance" thing was rather rude.
Ah, I was afraid someone would take it that way. I meant it more as in that there should be no drama or whatever in music, it's all art, so let's just shut up and dance 
My apologies for the misunderstanding! Glad you enjoyed the music 
i have frandzzz. Thank you And auxcide, that's exactly what I was going to do haha. Get a mod to move it, and I'll change the title.
Anyway, got some more responses on the show invites, got some really good artists playing! Gonna put out a flyer very soon with some names
been delaying leaving for KY until UPS got here. they just got here. every other day... 10AM. today, truck breaks down, 7PM. of course...
but, clear dog cases are coming with me
I LOVE DOG CASES
But no seriously bitman is making me a dmg with one of them. i am way too excite.
Too bad it's not a release thread, otherwise that would have been funny.
Why thank you, I figured I'd do it right
Can't believe you're all so excited! It's a dream come true you're all the best...please keep on sharing this around guys
Anyway, got some people for the show...2 yes, 1 maybe....I'll drop the names when the list is finalized, but I'm just saying, you know these guys, and you know they're good.
Thanks for all the compliments guys! I'm working on getting people for the live show now, but the single has been released 
Or you could say you'll pay, and then never respond again after they send the files if they're dumb enough to do that (like me).
I'd probably do it for like, 40 bucks
Why thank you! Glad you all can enjoy it
Just some news for the Codex release, there's gonna be a live webshow to help promote it, don't forget to come to that, I'm inviting some good friends of mine Also, there will be a pre-release leading single that will be available for free download very very very soon!
There will be new versions of both DRIFTER and Monsters Under the Bed on the full length...Really going out of my way to make those tracks stand out and be different than the initial release. Keep your eyes open, friends Big things are happening!

I guess you are trying to say that when estimating the time spent on a composition we should include our whole musical history as well.
I also think that not only does time not relate to effort, but effort isn't necessarily related to quality either. Some people are naturals, and some will die still sucking.
Well, no that's not really what I'm saying. At least for sax/trumpet improv, its not really exactly instant on the spot composition. A player learns a lot of traditional licks and they make their own licks that they figure out harmonically, and then when they're in an improv session (like the Miles Davis records referenced), they play pre-written tracks (for the most part) that they have practiced before and learned how they can harmonically work, then on the spot, we string together these pre-learned licks in a way that makes sense to the changes that are happening. This is a process that combines practice and composition. At some point you'll just "speak the language" and play freely, but that's just you doing the same thing, thinking less. So how long did it take them to make those songs? I dunno, it depends on what you define as writing a jazz song. But a more accurate statement would be that they were recorded in 2 days.
What I'm saying is that jazz doesn't really fit this kind of question...it's a different matter entirely. Electronic music is all composition. Jazz is a whole other animal.
oh i didn't consider it because i thought we were all one person computer mussicers rather than groups of instrumental musicians
but improvisation is maybe the ultimate Not Spending Much Time On A Song . miles davis made 4 albums in 2 days maybe he sucks for not putting Actual Effort into his craft
Speak to any jazz musician, and they spend years upon years learning how to improvise...and those are mostly not original compositions. Jazz works a lot differently haha.
