Mood: Tired
Listening To: Daft Punk - Aerodynamite
Usually, when it comes to stuff I've never listen to, I'd usually say:
"I'm not a fan of ______________"
Which is the wrong term, after being in touch with music for quite a while. Now that I've had a slight taste of how the music industry is like, it's more to like: "I've never heard of _____"
That's a proper term. And I find myself wanting to look for more materials, musicians, genres, and melodies to experiement with these days. Besides that, there's the study of polyrhythms that I've never had the chance to go through. In fact, I'm getting a taste of polyrhythms through this song by Daft Punk.
And yes, Daft Punk. I've never really listened to them before, but it's through these experimental artists that you learn how to mess around with new effects to make a song sound different compared to the rest which are being produced.
Other than that, I don't know.
Where exactly am I heading with this music path?
Guess I should just kick back and focus on the guitar and toss whatever's irrelevant aside.
But a mix of everything is just so..tempting.. Hohoho.
Anyways, Harry Gregson-Williams stuff on the Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty OST is extremely good in terms of production. I seriously dig his stuff. And some of the songs, for a tactical game, have very very heavy Jazz influence. In fact, the opening theme - Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday (I think) is a Jazz number. Fortune's theme song is a mix of electronical experimental orchestra with Jazz, and that's just so.. bloody nice.
Pure ear orgasmismnessed.
I don't know how to explain this, but on that OST, when the bass of a certain instrument comes in, it just hovers around the speakers .. Like an audible mist that surrounds you? I want that effect, but I have no idea how to achieve that sort of thing with a crap Vista OS.
I shall retreat to Keith @ The Ark Studios for reference.. XD
And this feeling; being one with those sort of music .. is just simply amazing. It's like, I've been emotionally directly linked to these sort of music? When I listen to something that's produced, mixed and composed properly through these headphones, it brings a smile to my face somehow.
I think I've accidentally made it into my religion.
.. Time to upgrade to better headphones, that's for sure.. XD
I should head to the library now and study Management Accounting. I just realised that I know nothing of the subject. It's not even bloody accounts, that's for sure =___=
