Your favourite musician?

by unizo • 7 Feb 2008, 18:21 • Journals
Who's your favourite musician atm? No DJs or MCs allowed, sorry but I'm talking about original music, not talking to a beat or remixing others' work.

Mine's probably Antoine Dufour, he = leetness with his guitar.

2nd Tommy Emmanuel, just because he's cool and I've always liked him. :)

Probably yann tiersen, sergei rachmaninoff, ludwig van beethoven and glenn frey
▼
rahula 7 Feb 2008, 19:13
ludwig as amazing as he is never made anything that hit me quite as powerfully as say..tchaikovsky's swan lake or mozart's lacrimosa >) other pieces i prefer to beethoven's work also include the montagues and capulets by prokofiev, and vivaldi's summer

the part from 0:08 to 0:19 might be one of the best motives i ever heard :p

like this as well

But you're right there are of course better pieces but i am not really that much of a 'universal listener' meaning i don't listen that much different music :<

this is currently my favorite rachmaninoff tune, check it out :p

the piece by rachmaninoff was excellent, but partially because watching it as a video it was performed with such passion i think :)

you prolly don't know what rap is..

in every genre they are "talking" to a beat, it's only an other sort of beat.

it's not like trance/dance/hardstyle/hardcore etc which everybody with a PC can make by just crashinh his head on his keyboard and recording the beeps from his PC.
▼
nyyrikki 7 Feb 2008, 18:53
he probably meant musicians that make music with instruments, not computers
Parent

triflip 7 Feb 2008, 18:55

No, in a lot of Genres they're SINGING to a beat, in Rap they aren't.

They're just "talking" about how many bitches and cars they've got.

triflip 7 Feb 2008, 20:42
singing = talking in a rhythm, and that is what rappers are doing.

it's only an other rhythm, but it's still the same :D

U just say it like this because you don't like this genre I guess

EDIT: listen to this, first recorded rap sond, http://youtube.com/watch?v=T2RdNAiZ6dc
