the entire point of 4'33'' if memory serves is that each individual interprets the lack of sound in their own personal way, such that it's an entirely unique piece and experience for every member of the audience

that in mind, everyone already has a file for 4'33'' already. just open up the SM editor, hit ctrl+r, and slam out notes for exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds.

Or make a blank file that last for 4 minutes and 33 seconds.

There are songs in which only one artist is credited despite others collaborating. This song as far as I know has been always labelled as by DJ Kankaoh. Do you have other evidence that the artist should be labelled as KnK?

edit @OWA: Thanks! Never saw that post before!

robotomy is 254 bpm, the first 1/3 is 4/4

in regards to "no harmony"

a synonym for color is timbre

Pretty sure nobody can "play" Robotomy in realtime. Also, using the word as part of the definition? Cmon.

while you may not think this is "playing" music, there are a significant number of artists that utilize modular synthesis to generate real-time sound

one of my personal favorites is richard devine

(this is a video of the same track recorded "live")

Robotomy is made of sounds, but they are anything but "sweet, pleasing, or harmonious".

this is ultimately subjective but I personally get very intense synesthetic visuals from robotomy and it was, to me, a gateway of sorts into some very interesting genres of electronic music

Devil's Music Box isn't *good*. But it is music.

devil's music box was created with the sole intent of using it as the basis for a chart, take that how you will

If you are implying that my shit is more musical than Robotomy, you no longer have any credibility in what you say regarding Robotomy.

[SKG_Scintill]

There was this basement dwelling music teacher with a lot of oscillators that told me that music is organized sound.

[ItsOnlyDanO]

when did this turn into a thread arguing the musical structure/properties of robotomy

[s1rnight]

wait i thought dissing robotomy as music was a joke bc there was like 200 songs that sound like it in game already

ppl actually dislike it as music???

[VisD]

I'm going to step spoken word and you all are going to have to like it
