So no starting Christmas shopping in January this time? -------------- I know I wanted summer but 34ºC is too much already

Celestial Angels: Lais Ribeiro.

Another amazing bass line which links them to the Professor J.R.R. Tolkien who would also be celebrating his birthday today

Let's praise John Paul Jones and his sick bass line for this song on his birthday

Oooh I read that wrong. My apologies on that one. I've never argued about liking that stuff or not. All I'm doing is to point the fact that it remains being music and those who make it are real musicians. Yeah, don't twist my words. I said: Which I rounded with: Those are the basics of the tonal system: the Major scale, tritone found in the dominant chord and the V7 -> I resolution. Everything else comes as a consequence of this and as an add on to these basic aspects. I don't know how bringing the circle of fifths changes any of this. The music proves it itself. And... "Mahler was the source of the Second Viennese School" You're denial on this is like saying that Oasis has no Beatles influence. Or that Judas Priest has no Queen influence. Or that Steve Vai took no influence from Satriani or Zappa... The point here is: no music comes out of nowhere. Not even the weirdest atonal and serial stuff.. And I still don't understand why it seems to "hurt" (for the lack of a better word) you so much that the likes of Mahler, Wagner, Strauss, etc are important influences for composers as Schoenberg, Webern, Boulez, etc

My legs hurt... I wonder why Oh, and Happy New Year, everybody!

All this rambling on for still trying to call music that it isn't even that weird as noise and their composers as not "real musicians"... So just a couple of things It wasn't forbidden... Guido D'arezzo though issued a sort of "prohibition" of it for his hexachordal system but that's pretty much it. The "diabolus in musica" denomination appears around the 18th Century It doesn't imply it being "good", but even being the weird stuff that it is (because it is weird and that's what makes it interesting), it doesn't come out of nowhere. It comes from a very direct influence from the music that came before. Mahler and Wagner being some of the most important. Weren't you saying maths fail completely on explaining consonance/dissonance?? And no, the perfect fifth it's not the basis of the tonal system. In the sense that it doesn't define it. Most scales contain it and are built around the fifth interval. Actually, we don't even use the perfect fifth anymore -the one that has the 3/2 ratio - because of the Equal Temperament system we use today (it's pretty close though but it isn't the actual perfect fifth) The tonal system is based on the major scale, the tritone that this scale has and the Dominant chord that contains it. The tonal system is based on tension and resolution and that tension in provided by the tritone that appears on the Dominant chord. ALL musicians working within the tonal system make use of the tritone because what ultimately defines the tonal system is the V7 -> I movement. Oh, the denial.... Horror movies are filled with atonal music btw. No. I brought that because of your statement of "real musicians". The denial again... It's all there for you to listen. The influence is clear to the ear. My guess is you just want to deny it out of not liking the atonal music. Also, Schoenberg was one of Mahler's students. He learned directly from him. I'm not even arguing if that music is good. My point here is that it IS music. Not noise. And that those who make it are real musicians and not some guy hitting random notes.
