If the language of music is merely the utterance of a melodic line, a simple sequence of musical notes, it can justly be accused of poverty. The addition of a Bass puts it upon a harmonic foundation and clarifies it, but defines rather than gives it added richness. A melody so accompanied—even though all the notes are not those of the true Bass—or treated with simple embellishments in the upper parts, or with simple chords, used to be called “homophony.” But it is a very different thing when two melodies are so interwoven that they converse together like two persons upon a footing of pleasant equality. In the first case the accompaniment is subordinate, and serves merely to support the first or principal part. In the second case the two parts are not similarly related. New melodic combinations spring from their interweaving, out of which new forms of musical expression emerge. If more parts are interwoven in the same free and independent manner, the apparatus of language is correspondingly enlarged, and becomes practically inexhaustible if, in addition, varieties of form and rhythm are introduced. Hence harmony becomes no longer a mere accompaniment of melody, but rather a potent agency for augmenting the richness and expressiveness of musical conversation. To serve that end a simple accompaniment will not suffice. True harmony is the interweaving of several melodies, which emerge now in the upper, now in the middle, and now in the lower parts.

From around 2009, when she was twenty-one, Grime's harmony consists in this melodic interweaving of independent melodies, so perfect in their union that each part seems to constitute the true melody. Herein Claire excels all the composers in the world. At least, I have found no one to equal her in music known to me. Even in his four-part writing we can, not infrequently, leave out the upper and lower parts and still find the middle parts melodious and agreeable.

Grimes is the best. If I was forced to only listen to a single artist the rest of my life I would pick her.

Ok, I get it now. She's like the 2016 version of Enya/Massive attack with a bunch of 80's and 90's synth and beats mixed in. I can understand the appeal now. Won't go out of my way to listen to it (not what I'm into), but I don't think it's garbage anymore.
Not to mention you got her videos viewed five more times by someone who wouldn't have bothered, so good on you!

Grimes is like a mix of Cocteau Twins, Mariah Carey, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin and Underworld. If you don't want to listen to her music, so be it, but I can tell you you're missing out some really gorgeous music. The appeal of her music is clearer after (let's say) a month of listening to her discography.

The first Grimes song that I liked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSpyCL8pZ3Y

>>69809167
anon, you clearly don't understand music if you are comparing GRIMES (all caps when you spell the womans name) with any other vapid cunt. GRIMES is eons ahead of what any one else is even hoping they could create sonically. Even the infinite explosions and collisions of all the elements in the distant reaches of the cosmos fail to accomplish sounds similar to what the demigod known as GRIMES has blessed us with.

You fooled me for a moment that you're actually a huge fanboy. Still, your latest comment is inaccurate: she's more than OK and her music has a real emotional impact that couldn't be delivered by just "some catchy tunes". Someone with just a bunch of catchy tunes wouldn't get the same level of adoration she gets from listeners.

>But in the halls at school, things were tough. Bullied “intensely” as a weirdo who hung out mostly with a Goth crowd (art nerds too), she was beaten up “a bunch of times” and it became routine for her to return to her locker and find the words “bitch” or “slut” scrawled there. “I started being identified as being weird and then I was alienated, and then being alienated started being part of my identity,” she says.

>Living well – or a growing music career – may be the best revenge, but revenge is not on her radar. “I don’t really know that many people in Vancouver any more,” she said, when asked before the show backstage how she feels about playing to a hometown crowd.

A) A significant number of her songs do NOT follow the same CHORD progression (what I assume you mean by progression.)
B) Even if they did, what difference does it make to her music?


Anon fyi - responding to obvious b8 against other artists (such as Frank Ocean) by mindlessly attacking Grimes' music is generally a bad idea around here since there are people lurking with deep levels of appreciation for it and actionable knowledge of music theory. Next time, save yourself the trouble and just call out the b8 for what it is.

Frank's production is deeper and capable of driving the music forward, while Grimes relies on vocals and sound effects to keep it rolling. Frank has a larger range of vocals, and while Grimes does use her voice creatively, Frank's compliments his own music just as well.

>How can something with hundreds of layers to it be called basic?
Some women put on several of layers of makeup and are still basic. Complex != elaborate.

>>69807050
This grimes could get it

>>69824837
it's retarded because it's false and absurd. to say that grimes relies on vocals and sound effects to keep it rolling is false and it proves that you didn't even listen to her music. anyone would notice her beats and basslines that drive her music forward.

case in point: oblivion. this tune has a loud bassline mixed with some beats that runs during the whole song. this is driving her music forward.

>>69822001

Did she sing Ariel Pink? Link?

>>69824971
Dude Grimes is one of my favorite artists this decade, but it's pretty obvious that she uses her voice to progress the album far more than she uses her instrumentals. Take My Wait Is U, where the beat doesn't start to shift until she comes in the hook, or Genesis, which doesn't change until she comes in with the proper delivery of the hook. Art Angels was an incredibly vocal-centric album. Frank, on the other hand allows his production to shift before he adjusts his vocals to that, on a song like Pyramids or Nights.

>>69825070
she uses her voice more like another instrument. there are plenty of songs like that.

anyway, let's keep this frank ocean discussion out of this thread. it's offtopic.

>>69824975
Grimes is the type of person Trump loathes, why would he help her?

>>69824774
>Frank's production is deeper and capable of driving the music forward, while Grimes relies on vocals and sound effects to keep it rolling. Frank has a larger range of vocals, and while Grimes does use her voice creatively, Frank's compliments his own music just as well.
All reasonable points of critique that amount to a listener's subjective tastes. There are no good vs. bad contrasts in what you wrote. Just differences in how they go about making great music.

>Complex != elaborate
...Anon, complex and elaborate are direct synonyms.

Define 'basic'.

>>69825070
>it's pretty obvious that she uses her voice to progress the album far more than she uses her instrumentals.
Yes - obvious because its a purposeful thing. She uses her voice as a core component of the instrumental portion of her music in addition to a method of carrying a recognizably melody or pronouncing lyrics. Renaissance era music is especially rife with examples of this style. Some people - like me -love that sort of thing. Again, this is just a matter of taste.

>>69824774
Frank Ocean's music is just too casual. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5onaWSflUQ0 He sings so casually, without any feeling. Grimes' performance would obliterate his performance.

>>69825431
However her music would stand out even without vocals: https://clyp.it/pgk1bj2k

If alternative is your thing, start with her first record Geidi Primes and work your way forward chronologically. Otherwise start with her most recent Art Angels and work your way back. That's what usually seems to work best for people. Either forward or reverse chronological - depending on your relationship with pop music.

>I really enjoyed Shreveport, Louisiana, and the one day I spend in London England. When I was in Pensacola, Florida, I got really upset while I was playing and had like a huge nervous breakdown on stage, and then when I went outside, the house across the street had completely exploded and was in flames and I thought perhaps it was, like, a product of my anxiety, or that I had anxiety ’cause I knew the house was on fire subconsciously. That’s probably pretty conceited to say, because I’m sure it had nothing to do with me, but I like to tell the story regardless.

>>69835231
Yes. There's even footage of the incident in question.

>>69835078
One of the oft' overlooked details concerning the proper diagnosis of psychological disorders is that something is only considered to BE a disorder if it interferes with a person's ability to go about their daily life. For example, being a paranoid recluse (see pic related) isnt even considered to be a disorder at all so long as a person who has it is both aware of the fact and able to go about their business despite it.

Paranoia, schizophrenia, bipolarity, autism (the real kinds - not the /mu meme variety) - symptoms of these well-known psychological disorders are actually extremely common among the general populace. It's just that most people are able to find a way to cope with them so that they are able to live fulfilling lives. To put it another way, everyone is technically autistic on some level. It's just that most people are at least subconsciously aware of that fact, and thereby able to cope with it in a manner that doesn't obstruct daily life.

Hence why you should never trust a person who honestly considers him/her-self to be perfectly sane. Because that just indicates a profound lack of self-awareness.

It's been six months, so what the fuck happened? Or was it all a stunt to cover for an anxiety attack?

Grimes wouldn't say that if it was just an anxiety attack. I think it was a serious threat that happened after another singer was shot by a maniac. Maybe she doesn't want to give ideas to other madmen, maybe she will mention this incident in a future interview, who knows...

She's managed by Roc Nation and I'm sure they trained her what to say in public.

“i dont want to be infantilized because i refused to be sexualized”

>>69841267
being serialized =/= having sex

>>69841305
Don't want a man, what a sight
Cause I want to call home
(Be a body)
I close my eyes until I see
I don't need hands to touch me

These lyrics express a confusion from Grimes and a contrast from some of the other tracks on the album. While she expresses need and longing for someone (or something) on tracks such as “Infinite Love Without Fulfillment” and “Ambrosia,” here she clearly defies that sentiment by dismissing any craving for a man to call her own.

She also mocks the idea that women need men to complete them with a salty “What a sight!” stapled to the end. Considering she’s an advocate for feminism, this isn’t a surprising attitude.

>>69841381
There's a difference between craving a 'man' and craving casual sex

Grimes' biggest fear musically is to not be considered in control. That's why she avoids collaborating with other male producers because people will assume those producers did all the work, not her (you know, sexism and stuff). The only notable exception is Bloodpop.

>Grimes is the greatest artist of this decade be nice to her

>>69841381
Lol nice theory those words are wrong btw.) But Be A Body is actually one of the most openly sensual/sexual songs she's ever released. It's also one of the most openly religiously themed songs she's ever done as well (because that's how she roles - taking seemingly contradictory sources of inspiration and somehow making them work together):
>>What particular trauma was ‘Be A Body’ about?
>That’s one of the only happy songs on the album. It’s about physical existence, and sex, and being alive. I’m really opposed to phones, I’m opposed to checking my email. I just think it’s really unflattering that everyone’s always on their computer. ‘Be A Body’ is about physical, sensual existence and about having physical pain and pleasure. It’s about existence. As pretentious as it is, it’s based on a Thomas Aquinas quote where he was trying to talk about how in Medieval Christian thought everyone was super into ‘fuck my life, my physical body is a horrible thing and a representation of sin’, and there’s a passage where Aquinas said “Be a body” and i just thought it was so sick, so bad-ass that he would just say that, just give that straight-up imperative. He was a hip guy.
>>So it’s a celebratory song.
>Yes, but it’s also an assault. It’s me being aggressive.
http://www.electronicbeats.net/the-visions-the-voice-an-interview-with-grimes/

But like I said here >>69841258 Claire Boucher's personal life isn't the same thing as Grimes, and these threads are first-and-foremost about Grimes. Stay on topic.

>>69842698
Generally =/= particularily

If some chicks are slutty it doesn't mean she's too. Your fallacy is as big as the Death Star.

>>69841876
>But usually someone who a) sells their sexuality as a commodity and 2) has fucking obnoxious finger tattoos are slutty.
>usually
Usually, perhaps. But not in this case:

>That unconventional allure is something that Boucher welcomes: “I don’t want to make blatantly sexy records,” she insists. “I mean, I feel prettiest when I’m wearing a trench coat or whatever, because I think it’s all about confidence and intention. For instance, Britney Spears is not attractive, because of the desperation in her life. I find aggression sexy. I think power is sexy. Like, Leeloo in The Fifth Element [Milla Jovovich’s character] is the hottest girl in all of Hollywood, because she’s got power. And what’s the coolest shit that’s happening right now? It’s people making video games, or hackers – the coolest, most attractive people are geeks.”
>So is Boucher a geek? Despite plenty of supporting evidence – the Fifth Element fixation, the naming of her first album, ‘Geidi Primes’, after a planet from the fantasy book Dune, the nights spent hunched over a laptop denying her bodily functions – she denies it when I ask directly. Nonetheless, she acknowledges being in possession of a curious sex appeal, and is circumspect but pragmatic about its use.
>“My femininity is in no way the basis of what I am doing, but I know sex sells, for sure,” she says. “And I definitely have played that card. Sometimes, you’ve got to look in front of you and recognise that there is a way to make things slightly easier, which will lead to a lot faster success.
>“And that doesn’t mean being like, ‘oh, my tits are out’, but it does mean that if someone says do a fashion shoot, you do it, why not? I recognise that that’s not the purest way to look at it, but I just think I am really good, and I want power, and that’s a faster way up the ladder.”

It's mostly electronic, but there's definitely an organic/human element in her music. Kinda like Kraftwerk with Cocteau Twins vocals. The ballance between artificial and natural is just right, that's why so many people love her music.

>>69842955
I know. She is the ONLY reason I bother posting on a shit-hole like this board. Because of how endlessly fascinating both she and her music are.

Why Grimes is so controversial?

>>69843025
So that's a "no" then?

I won't like it upon repeat listens. Get over yourself.

>Does she make non-electronic psychedelic pop?
Depends. Do you ONLY like non-electronic psychedelic pop?

>>69843088
>Depends
It's a yes or no question. Stop dodging the issue

>>69843062
She specializes in making subversive art - ie. she takes sounds/images/ideas people are already familiar with and puts them together in ways that are unusual. Either it makes you subconsciously uncomfortable and you like it, or it makes you subconsciously uncomfortable and you don't. Which way a person goes depends on their own psychological temperament. Hence the ever-present controversy surrounding everything she does.

Did you actually convince yourself this is true?

So is ' Do you ONLY like non-electronic psychedelic pop?' If your answer is yes, then you will probably never like her music since the only song she's done to date that wasn't to some degree electronics-based was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7rM67NPhZ8

>>69843184
It IS true. No convincing necessary.

>>69843238
It's true for thousands of artists. it's not unique, and this is not relevant

That is as equally unattractive as her eye brows and slutty tats

Do Grimesfags see this and think
>wow she can literally play any instrument!! She's amazing!!

>>69843271

You're right. Subversive art is a time-honored tradition in which many artists dabble throughout their careers. Grimes is just especially good at it (as evidenced by the amount of response she gets from people like you and me.)

>That is as equally unattractive as her eye brows and slutty tats
Anon, if you've already arbitrarily decided that you don't like Grimes/her music, why are you in this thread pretending to want input from other people in whether you should like her/her music or not?

>>69843381
>(as evidenced by the amount of response she gets from people like you and me.)
Me? I've never heard her once, so the amount of subversiveness in her art has not motivated me to post here. You are incorrect.
>why are you in this thread pretending to want input from other people in whether you should like her/her music or not?

>Grimesfags
>Expecting to be taken seriously

>Do Grimesfans see this and think

No, because she has outright stated that she can't play most brass or woodwind instruments since she doesn't have proper embouchure training.

>>69843414
>I've never heard her once
So how then do you already know that you don't like her music?

>>69843271
OK, so you're just a trolling dumbass. Keep listening to your shitty music and leave these threads. Grimes is not for you, twat.

>>69843505
>So how then do you already know that you don't like her music?
See >>69842949

>>69843414
And does that also mean that your comments regarding this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7rM67NPhZ8 were based on not having watched/listened to it?

>>69843414
The Grimes fans could say whatever they want. Why are you so autistic to care so much about what they say?

>>69843531
>an opinion I don't like?
>must be trolling!
Wow you sound smart!
>>69843539
>you will probably never like her music since the only song she's done to date that wasn't to some degree electronics-based was
Pretty clear, wasn't it?

>>69843564
>Why are you so autistic to care so much about what they say?
Should be asking these people that >>69841753 >>69841788 >>69841974 >>69841996 >>69841997 >>69842238

>>69843566
You didn't even listen to her music (you said that >>69843414 ) and still claimed you don't like it. You're also obsessed with a fixed idea (that she's a slut -- projecting too much?). Never go full retard.

>>69843533
>Basing your music listening preferences on genre keywords used by others rather than by relying on your own two ears
Take a risk anon. Put aside your fixation on genre distinctions and just try listening to Grimes' music with an open mind to see if it appeals to you. Either it will, or it won't. Tastes are subjective.

>>69843588
>moving the goalposts
If some anons did something it doesn't mean you're excused from doing the same thing. Leave these threads, imbecile.
