Eine kleine crazymusik
So miznarrator and I were chatting about classical music just now (as we do), and I pasted this at her:
Then the following convo happened.
me: STOCKHAUSEN
just an example
Miznarrator: ahaha what EVEN.
me: that
THAT
is stockhausen
Miznarrator: ........
ok
me: from the description - 'Because everything happens as musical structure, there does not exist "good" or "bad", but only "Plus" and "Minus". And in fact: the notation of the work consists mainly out of Plus- and Minus-signs, which have to be related in any vertical and horizontal combination to the main musical parameters.'
Miznarrator: classical peeps officially crazier than us pop music peeps
me: was there ever any doubt?!
we holdin it down over here in crazytown
stockhausen is also the one where one movement is putting a musician in a sensory deprivation chamber for four days, then they come out and play WHATEVER COMES INTO THEIR HEADS
Miznarrator: O RIGHT.
copied+pasted snippet of a parallel conversation Miz N was having with toomuchplor.
toomuchplor: Ah, Stockhausen
hahahahahaha
this is why I was so happy to have that 1/2 sem of popular music
Miznarrator: WHAT IS THIS.
O____O
toomuchplor: THIS IS 20TH CENTURY MUSIC
Miznarrator: IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AS MUSIC TO ME
toomuchplor: BLAME SCHOENBERG YO
HE WAS LIKE
I WILL REINVENT MUSIC
AND HE BROKE IT
HE BROKE IT LOTS
Miznarrator: he can go on my list of people to dig up to punch in the face
toomuchplor: Hahahaha
FOR REALS
me: lollll, see, i heart schoenberg
he's such a fucked up, hateful, angsty little man
like, so much of what he did was because he resented the shit out of stravinsky
and was like WELL FINE, I'MMA MAKE MUSIC ~NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD BEFORE~, SUCK IT IGOR
... except it's not very musical
idk, it's interesting philosophically?
Miznarrator: Helikopter-Streichquartett (a piece by Stockhausen for instruments, audio equipment, and 4 helicopters.)
me: AHAHHAAAAAAAAA
AMAZE
PERFECT, FLAWLESS, ETC
NEVER CHANGE, STOCKHAUSEN
Miznarrator: there is not enough headdesk IN THE WORLD.
me: dude, he's TROLLING CLASSICAL MUSIC

Miznarrator: you should post this.

And lo, the first thing I post in months is all about Stockhausen, trolling classical music with helicopters.
