Quality music~ October 14, 2009

What makes a bunch of instruments combined into a sound music? According to this article, whatever has a mathematical combination of rhythms and beats. I can see both sides of the argument. In the first argument, I agree that it would help the pop chart lists out if each artist went by this computer program. Also, it would possibly help brand new artists to get into the music industry much more easily because if they could start out by producing a hit on the charts, they would make a name for themselves right off the bat.
However, as a musician myself, I do not like this new computer program. First off, if all of our music was made by this one formula for “successful music”, then we as the listeners would become tired of the same beats and rhythms time and time again. This also would not encourage musicians to go out on their own branch and create possibly a new genre of music because it would not be pleasing the computer system. Without musical pioneers, we would not have the genre rock, pop, or any other genre except classical music. Another reason why this program would not be a good investment in the musical system is because when a new artist does make his or her first hit, it isn’t such a big deal. It is not a big deal because any one can do it. With so many people having this program, everyone would be producing hit records and then the music industry would become so big that it would not be as much as a honor as when someone today makes it into the industry.

That's all for now!
