>>72746614
grimes is exempt because she makes good music

There's some good anime. Like Death Note and Code Geass. And most shit out of Ghibli. That gay loli shit can fuck right off though.

>Your breakdown of pop music's fundamental elements aren't wrong but are only one piece of the puzzle.
Absolutely.

>Grimes is certainly more adventurous than mainstream pop artists (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry) but nearly all of Grimes' songs are very poppy.
Never said otherwise.

>Most Grimes songs have an infinitely looping chord progression running through most sections (unlike classical).
First of all, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passacaglia
Quoting myself from long ago:
>>In small-ensemble situations (typified by the jazz and classical chamber groups) sonic interest is principally achieved through variations in scale, chord progression, time signature, and tempo (aspects known as the horizontal axis elements of music in music theory circles - since they're rendered horizontally in standard music notation) rather than through variations in sonic texture and timbre.
>>
>>In contrast to this, large ensemble situations (typified by layered/sample based music - ala Grimes - and classical orchestra/organ music) the opposite is true. Sonic interest is primarily achieved through variations of sonic texture and timbre (aspects known as the vertical axis elements of music in music theory - since they rendered vertically standard music notation) brought about by combining individual samples/instruments together in constantly changing configurations, while leaving the horizontal axis elements relatively untouched.

[1/2]

>>72746794
[2/2]

>>
>>One of the best classical examples of this latter method is Bach's Passacaglia in C Minor (originally written for organ, but transcribed here beautifully imo for full orchestra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIT02mB9lo) Notice how, despite its extended running time and constantly variating sound, the horizontal axis elements described earlier are very simply defined and NEVER change (the entire song's chord progression consists of the same 4 chords repeated ad nauseum.)
>>
>>This is the sort of context in which the complexity of Grimes' music (especially regarding her earlier stuff) is based; constant, conscious variations in sound quality rather than formal structure.
>>
>Most Grimes songs are verse-chorus-verse (unlike classical). In fact, they're nearly always close to verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. Sometimes with intros, outros, and pre-choruses, sometimes extended a bit in her longer songs, but still pretty much following the pop "macro structure" formula.
Which is exactly my point - Grimes makes music that - structurally speaking - from a MACRO level is thoroughly contemporary pop, but on a MICRO level is distinctly classical.
Hence why it's game-changing.

What is really incredible is the fact that she is the writer, producer, lyricist, developer, video director, visual artist, and singer. She is amazingly talented in all those fields too. Such hard work and dedication to her music.

That may explain why her music is interesting during the entire duration of her songs. Those elements at micro level add a huge variety to her songs.

no

>>72751205
What kind of music do you like the most? If you like pop a lot, try Art Angels. If you're an electronic fan, try Visions. If you prefer more experimental stuff, try Halfaxa. If you dig lo-fi/sparse sounding music (e.g. folk), try Geidi Primes.

>>72751206
most of them don't know her

I remember in one thred a guy said a teacher showed his students kill v maim and they were all confused

>>72751259
This helped, cheers, will do some listening

>>72751281
One more thing: her music may take a while to get into it. But once it does, you will be a total convert. Be warned. :)

What would make you think that?

Either intrigued, based on what I've told them about her/her music or themselves already huge fans (I was extremely late to the Grimes game.)

>>72751555
>>72750930
She's just selling herself well to the communities that embraced her
tumblr fandoms
late teen girls with self diagnosed anxiety disorders
"not like other girls"
etc.

So long as the music's decent it doesn't bother me at all.
...shame about Art Angels

>>72749728
sup doldrums you're very cute :3

>>72751670
>...shame about Art Angels
Shame about AA being a great album? Dude, don't be an idiot.

>>72751755
Really didn't care for it
It's not trash but it was pretty disappointing for me.
It goes really hard on the jpop/kpop aesthetic and her vocals are super drab and one dimensional.
Wish she focused on production and made a project with some decent vocalists.
When I saw her live she was wildly outshone by Hana, the girl who opened for her.

>>72751826
>she was wildly outshone by Hana
I think you were the only one in that crowd that believed that. Hana is nice but she doesn't have the star power of Grimes. And her good tunes. I bet you were blinded by her beauty...

>It goes really hard on the jpop/kpop aesthetic and her vocals are super drab and one dimensional.
You're overstating that jpop/kpop aesthetic. Only a handful of songs have that (Kill V. Maim, World Princess Part II, Venus Fly). Anything else doesn't have anything to do with jpop/kpop.

>>72752041
Talking about vocals not songs.
Hana is a better vocalist hands down
I still preferred Grimes' set more but she's not a good singer.

>>72752410
>Hana is a better vocalist hands down
She's not. Listen to her singing backing vocals at Coachella on the song Butterfly...

>>72752410
>Hana is a better vocalist hands down
Training wise - definitely, but I wouldn't go beyond that. Grimes has one of the most timbrally flexible voices I've ever heard.

How did or would ur friends react if u showed them this music

The bass drums on Venus fly are fucking insane nigga

I hope

Grimes originality btfo. This was made in 93

I listened to Grimes for the first time last night - Art Angels and Halfaxa

I liked Halfaxa better

>>72754557
Not bad, although it sounds more like a Yoko Kanno (one of Grimes' stated influences) track to my ear. E.g. https://youtu.be/CBu9jUZMj-E
It's also not dance music.

>>72754557
>Grimes originality btfo
Not so quickly. Saint Etienne fan here. That song doesn't really sound like Grimes. None of them even invented those "oooohs".

>>72754802
Try Visions next. IMO it's her masterpiece; halfway between Halfaxa and Art Angels regarding style.

>>72755705
What's your favorite saint etienne song to dance to?

>>72755763
Hard to choose between Nothing Can Stop Us, Like a Motorway, Cool Kids of Death and He's on the Phone. The Gary Numan cover Stormtrooper in Drag is also a contender.

>>72746553
I'm thinking of making one, what should I put in it?

>>72751555
>i'm not like other girls

>>72757396
She's a realist. Name 1 (one) girl like her. Go ahead.

>>72757421
> Name 1 (one) girl like her. Go ahead.
im not going to because "likeness" is subjective and you've already decided internally that she is completely unique so even if i did post a girl who i perceived to be "like her" you would say that she isnt.

you grimesfags are so predictable.

why should people not take it seriously? it's a social media platform that she uses to express her thoughts.

Now the magic questions. What about their music?? What about their drawings? What about their videos directed and edited by them?

It's funny you say that because I feel the exact opposite. Every Hana song I've heard sounds extremely generic and boring. She's a decent singer but everything else is just so meh.

Pro tip: Humans are all emotional. Some are psychotic but they have brain issues.

>>72763585
wow i hope she notices me

>>72767303
A psychotic? I'm trying to help you get out of your grimes obsession before you go crazy and do something stupid to yourself or her. You need to get over this woman, you're in total denial.

>>72767274
>she's happy with her dude
you don't know that for sure

>>72767372
I don't know what? Have you seen his insta or whatever the shit it is and his youtube? They are an item. They're solid. She wouldn't be with him if they weren't good together. He seems like a decent guy and she and him are a good match.

I know that makes you crazy but you've never had her. You don't know her. You need to find your own girlfriend.

>>72766624
it is characteristic for grimes threads

>>72767354
you don't feel bad at all

I don't like how she insists on doing everything herself, as a sort of 'fuck you' to the music industry. As though she has to do everything completely out of spite.

>>72767547
What do you mean I don't feel bad? About what? I don't get it. If you mean I don't feel bad about you being obsessed with her? Or that I don't feel bad and I don't know what it's like to have that feeling for her?

I had a bit of a fixation for her early on in my discovery of her music. It's fading away now. But it was intense for a while. Doesn't mean I'm in love with her. I think i've written to you in previous threads. I hope you find Love anon. It's just not going to be with Grimes (grimes doesn't exist) or Claire (Claire is a musician and artist who is with someone, and we have no access to her at all and never will).

>>72767595
fucking hell

>>72767563
Nah, she's somewhat of a control freak. I do that sometimes. Maybe she just wants to make her own thing and not have a bunch of people come in and take her creation from her and bastardize it to the point of being unrecognizable like most shit out there.

Eg. Band X is super gud at what they do. A bunch of record execs sign them to a contract. A few years pass and then suddenly they change everything because captain dipshit record exec thinks they should be the way the industry is going, not who they are.

>>72767394
>They are an item. They're solid.
What makes you think that?

>She wouldn't be with him if they weren't good together.
She is with him because he cooks food and is useful in general.

>You don't know her.
You don't know her.

>>72767627
Oh Anon, you poor dear...

>They are an item. They're solid.
>What makes you think that?
Look at his social media pictures with her in them. When they are together. They're happy together. You can see that look in her eyes and in his eyes. Maybe they won't always be solid seeming... but it's a rare thing for people to be together so long with no purpose.

>She wouldn't be with him if they weren't good together.
>She is with him because he cooks food and is useful in general.
I doubt she'd choose to be with someone simply because they can make food. A lot of men, including myself, can make food. But I don't stand any greater a chance of being with her. I'm actually curious how they met. Anyone know?

>You don't know her.
>You don't know her.

You are very right, Anon. I do not. I have read a hell of a lot about her, and her interviews and what not. I've farted around on her social media stuff. I have a general idea of her. But you know one thing i've picked up on, she and that James guy are an item.

I'm curious what he does for a living? Seems to tag along with her but i've never understood how he tags along with her all over the world? Is he part of the production somehow? Worked into the staff I guess?

>>72767595
how do you think this will end?

Continued...

Anon, a few examples. They are very clearly happy together.

What do you mean? Care to elaborate? This thread or... something else? You're kind of vague anon.

I know you hurt Anon, but I think you need to get this out of you before it consumes you. I've been there about other girls I knew. Pining away like a dumbass, wasting my time.

You should try a real relationship before you waste any more of your time. Being with a woman is nothing like pining for one. Pining is a disease that consumes the mind, then the heart, and then the soul. I don't know where you are in this battle anon. But I hope you'll listen to reason.

If you want to talk, anon. I am willing to listen.

>>72767719
I want to talk to Claire.

>>72767732
Me too buddy. Me too. But how do you suppose that will happen? Let's be real Anon, she's been touring for a few years now. She's tired, shes' resting now. She's also making her music and living her life. How would she find time to speak to every one of her fans individually?

If she spoke with us, maybe she'd have to then speak with millions of her other fans and she'd never have time for anything else.

We care about her don't we? We want her to be happy. And she IS happy. Look at her social with Hana and whomever she's with. She's smiling a lot. Isn't that what we want? Don't you want HER to feel good?

how can i accept an imperfect world that i cannot change??

>>72767997
We are all born of imperfection. Even Claire. Our only trick that has kept all life alive for billions of years is that we can EVOLVE. That is why we are not a void of darkness and nothing. But simply potential.

Accept that we are imperfect, that perfection is a man made concept and construct. It does not exist because it is subjective. You think she is perfect? She gets the shits sometimes, maybe she gets sick, maybe she fucks up her lyrics... to her own songs. You see we've all got flaws.

To chase perfection or to idealize anyone or anything in this universe as such is to ignore the long journey that all of the matter has come from and for which we are all here. Remember, we stand upon a fabric of space and time that has been carrying on for billions of years.

Perfection is an illusion. Nothing more.

>>72762242
I listened to it when it came out, pretty good desu.
>tfw it gives me feels

>>72768042
nice try chomskyte, but the first part is even more delusional than the second. I can experience my desire for Claire, but I can't grasp infinite time flow and geneworks, which is naturally just a pile of bullshit.

And perfection is just a maxima, It doesn't mean that I need just to accept all the injustice in the world just because ultimate justice is not acceptable.

>>72768042
that didn't leave me satisfied, but maybe it's one of those things you just have to come to terms with
i like to think that we're gods or maybe just souls that came to live here just to suffer, and to experience believing we're mortal. then we go back to a perfect experience til we want to suffer again. but that's just a happy thought, and i wonder if i can believe in it one day

thx 4 your answer, have a young grim

>>72768087

Perhaps I should clarify. We exist only because others have died. Other models of creature have existed, evolved, passed on their progeny and died. So we could live. We are an extant model that is still yet imperfect. We are growing, evolving, mutating. All the time. There can never be anything remotely resembling perfection.

As for Justice, Justice is the backbone of society. It is another man made construct and concept. It is not real. Justice is intangible.

>>72768091
You know what I like to think about sometimes? Magic. All that superstitious bullshit. It makes certain possibilities appear more real. It's, of course, purely nonsense because none of it is provable. None of it has any founding in science or logic. But it's fun to think about.

Even more, what's fun (but also dangerous) to think about is multi-verse theories. That there are endless permutations of our universe where maybe you're with her in one of them. Maybe in one of them I am with her. And so on there is one where neither of us are and she is with James, like as in this one.

My point is that reality is a bitch sometimes. Life is brutal sometimes. But existence in this universe, by extension is and always has been chaotic. Nothing is certain, timeless or endless in nature. A sun can shine for a billion years but burn out just the same. We get maybe a hundred years to burn as bright as we can and then we'll be part of the cosmos again.

I just mean maybe it's better not to waste what little time we have on this planet pining for people we can't be with. Don't you think the thought has crossed my mind to be with her too?

my question wasn't related to grimes, though!
science takes believing too, but it seems you have your mind made up on it already. besides, i also believe in most of science for now, i just have an open mind for other things as cliche as it sounds

have another grimz, maybe one day you'll stop thinking about her? not trying to portray you as obsessed or something like that, don't get me wrong. but things like this can also be used for inspiration, just don't say your music is inspired in >tfw no grimz gf if you ever get famous, lol
much much love to you!

>>72768112
>We are an extant model that is still yet imperfect
bretty sure evolution isn't driven by strive of perfection and the next kin could be worse than previous one and eventually all just dies.
And furthermore whenever someone refers as perfect I imagine they never have considering it from evolution standpoint.

everything is man made and without man it is irrelevant.

>>72768216
Well, perhaps i'm just not good at describing what I mean lol.

Take a Cheetah on the african savanna. It has evolved through countless iterations of different sub-species to get to where it is. Capable of running down an animal and chasing your car down the highway. Unbelievable achievement, from an evolutionary perspective.

Now Claire, she's evolved too, like we are here talking to each other over this network. Anons, evolved to exchange ideas through squiggly lines on a screen.

Well Claire isn't perfect. You asked me to convince you to accept an imperfect world you cannot change. I am giving you this world that we have and everything in it, all in an imperfect universe. Claire is in this imperfect universe too. And she, too, is imperfect. However, Anon, her imperfections also make her unique and likeable. That lisp, that tooth, for example. But we like those things about her. What if she had no lisp, and her teeth were perfect and her nose was like every other person out there? That wouldn't be nearly as interesting!

>>72767261
To the best of my knowledge, the lowest she can go is D3 (the D below middle C) as heard in the song Symphonia IX. Live, she can down to at least F#3, as heard in this recording of Heartbeats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ci0tAdP7NY

As far as high notes are concerned, Grimes is what is classically known as a coloratura soprano acuto sfogato, which literally means a high soprano voice with such a large upper range that it might as well have no limit at all. Her highest note on record is a Bb6 in the song Circumambient, but live she has routinely gone higher. You can clearly hear her singing a B6 in the song Go at the 3:50 mark here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uorp0uUuKPU and performances of Scream like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjj1qgmZxXk have her in the realm of a C#7.

F#3 - B6 (her absolutely confirmed live vocal range) puts her just one tone shy of a 4.5 octave range. Whereas D3 - C#7 (the more tenuous limits described above) puts her just one semi-tone shy of a full 5 octaves. So basically somewhere between a 4.5 and 5-octave range.

Like I said here >>72753357 - one of the most timbrally flexible (independent of training) voices I've ever heard.

>>72768312
why does it have to be objective? Perfection does not exist, but the next best thing is perfect.

>>72768320
Pretty random but cool. I'm not a LOTR fan hahaha we'd never get along. They were interesting, but the crying and long belabored journeying to do all the shit they had to do bugged me like hell. I also never read the original novels. I know, i'm a monster. LOL.

>>72768356
Again though, what IS perfect? Perfect for you? Perfect fitting? Perfect at the time?

Perfect does not exist and the concept itself is fundamentally flawed. Almost to the point of being some sort of oxymoron.

>>72768378
If you want to debate semantics why don't just use dictionary?

Definition of perfect
1
a : being entirely without fault or defect : flawless a perfect diamond
b : satisfying all requirements : accurate
c : corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept a perfect gentleman
d : faithfully reproducing the original; specifically : letter-perfect
e : legally valid

>>72768391
Those must have been some lessons! wow!

>>72768403
Oh I think we've gone and thrown this whole subject off a cliff now. I was merely trying to get to the heart of your fixation, like mine, revolving around what appeared to me to be your putting her on a bit of a pedestal. When she is, merely, in fact, human like the rest of us (albeit very talented).

>>72768419
I put my emotions on the pedestal. That is what makes us humans instead of gene memers.

>>72768456
don't you think animals have emotions too?

>>72768513
there is no scientific consensus, but other species besides primates lack consciousness and people who advocate animal emotionality usually mix emotions with feelings.

>Emotion is any relatively brief conscious experience characterized by intense mental activity and a high degree of pleasure or displeasure

Right Anon, but what I am tryign to get to get to the heart of is why you seem so keen on trying to be with her (if you're the same anon i've been speaking to) if you know she's with someone else, you don't really know her ad how would that even happen anyway? Magic?

>>72768311
i was having a good night til i read this. so i hope you are happy
i have to learn to not get hurt, maybe, so whatever

>>72768636
(not me that posted that) but don't worry Anon, we are all fragile and vulnerable at some point. The world has a way of breaking us and we are forced to put ourselves back together. Even if the pieces no longer fit together properly.

>>72768598
>you seem so keen on trying to be with her
never put a singular effort to be closer to her or communicate with her.

>Magic?
it is a mix of dignity and idealism, it is what caused you to "evolve" from stone age cavemen to a modern man without much change in genetic code. Imagine you are living in a cave instead of house and you are completely content with it because house doesn't exist and cave is here and real.
