However, what makes a piece of music innovative or something that can considered interesting is how we break through those symmetrical barriers. Ratliff mentions how he thinks that pieces of music should possess ideas of nature and I never really though of analyzing music like that until he mentioned that way of thinking. This is by far one of my more favorite chapters of the book. ]]> 2018-04-23 04:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254236795 vanessaaltmirano https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254237753 So when I think of linking in music my first thought was on Tejano music. This genre of music does a really good job of linking together different beats and instruments that you would never think to actually try and make music with. It goes along with this quote from the book that says "music doesn't have to have right angles. It does not have to be square or symmetrical or neatly sequential". So to me this allows for more thinking outside the box when it comes to music. ]]> 2018-04-23 04:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254237753 vanessaaltmirano https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254238383 This is the singer of the Tejano song I used as an example. She was one of the first really big break out artist of this genre of music. ]]> 2018-04-23 04:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254238383 vanessaaltmirano https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254238583 when thinking about this quote in context of the book, right before Ratliff is talking about thinking of music in terms of nature. What I took away from that statement was learning to implement difference in music while still making the entirety of a full piece of music should be more relevant in the music world. Rules in music making so why follow a certain structure if we don't have to? ]]> 2018-04-23 04:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254238583 vanessaaltmirano https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254240389 Another portion of music that I really think does a great job of not following any "rules" is EDM. You can just hear each part of the music and you can tell that no two parts have anything to do with each other but it still somehow makes sense enough to make for an awesome music experience. Strict structure doesn't exist in this world and its so beautiful to see the finish product of such smart madness. ]]> 2018-04-23 04:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254240389 vanessaaltmirano https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254241131 This is skrillex a famous composer in the EDM world He is known for his wild and out there compositions of music. He is the perfect example of not setting a certain way of putting together his songs. I think he literally treats music as nature because his compositions just are all over the place however, they make for musical masterpieces. ]]> 2018-04-23 04:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessaaltmirano/ipizkp26iudn/wish/254241131
