Re: [LSDJ] How do you format your music? (24 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)

I think my lsdj files would be incomprehensible to anyone but me.
I dont really have a format, i just keep creating new chains, with spaces in between all over the place, some dont get used in a song and dont get deleted, some have multiple copies, its just a mess. but i mess i can work through for live mode.

Theoretically one could argue that doctors and lawyers have a concrete and potentially dangerous impact on people's lives, whereas an artist does not. Architects, therefore, are a gray area in between - people care about their credentials quite a bit, because although what they are doing is art, your ability to live/work in the space and your safety while doing so hinge on their abilities.
So how does this apply to musicians and other artists? Do we have no responsibilities, no impact on society or people's lives?

Finally someone understands what i was getting at.
We used to have this discussion in class, over when someone became an artist, and when what they did became art.
The architects are a good example, because there is a fair degree of art within it.
As far as taking a responsibility for what they do, while an architect may take some hit if their building is endangering life, but there are so many steps between the architect and the final building that it has really left their hands.
I work in the construction industry and i can tell you that a lot of the work architects want is just poorly thought out. It comes down to guys like me and my coworkers having to argue that no one wants to deal with a 4m high door made of 19mm glass.

To me an architect plays the same role as a composer.
The composer writes the original score, providing as much or as little detail as they want, hoping to give enough instruction that the musician (construction worker) can interpret it in the way they intended.

Just like a builder is the last step in making a drawing into a building, a musician is the last step between turning an idea/emotion/instruction into music.

Re: what makes a musician a musician (72 replies, posted in General Discussion)

When i graduated from uni i told everyone i was finally an artist, and forbode them from practicing art until they were properly qualified. They said it was a stupid idea.
But you can't call yourself a doctor or lawyer until you've done the necessary study, why should music and art be so lenient on who can be what?

Topic: BRK005 - DROIDSONG - THE EMPTY CONSTRUCT (0 replies, posted in Releases)

CHKDISBRK delivers the goods with the latest release from DROIDSONG.

An awesome collection of work by the significant other(half) of THRASHBANDICOOT.

I've had these songs lying around for a while and I decided someone might like to listen to them. I've been working on a new style of music and I'm transforming my sound so these are a little different from my newest stuff but nonetheless its some fun chipmusic. And thanks to my friend Nick Newland for putting together the art. Enjoy.
