I think there is no need to explain what Rick is saying there.

Can you explain why not in no more than 300 words, and without >the use of the following non-alfa characters: "!%):-" I would agree that a guitar is a synthesiser. But it is not a Synthesiser.

From: Rick Jansen <rja(a)euronet.nl> > What I mean to say here is: take some music that at first glance > has nothing to do with music we discuss here, and find elements > that are quite alike. I'm sure you'll find something that Brahms > has in common with The Beatles. well ... some people really think that they can compare apples with oranges or ev'ry other fruit , ONLY because "fruit is fruit" , which is utterly silly & only lead to confusion & misunderstandings in the end !!! :-/ MAYBE u can even find "somethin'" that brahms has in common with the beatles ... apart from the simple fact that they both were makin' music , but i rather suggest that u wash your ears first , rick , in order to actually hear the HUGE diff'rences in their compositions !!! :-o > Would you think the "Ave Maria" (Schuberts version) > has any Kraftwerk connection? sure , because kw like schubert's music !!! *G+* ;-) > Well, I think Schubert may have used a human sequencer here, > playing the same little piano melody, repeated over and over. are u implyin' that THIS is the "connection" between schubert & kw , rick ??? :-o in that case , u could even compare EV'RY repetitive piano melody used in a "techno" track with schubert's music , which is simply ABSOLUTELY_RIDICULOUS , sorry !!! :-/ anyway ... i suppose that we TOTALLY_DISAGREE here & that ANY kind of further discussion about that topic really DOESN'T make any sense @ all ... @ least NOT for me !!! *sigh* :-o > It was about "why "music is organized noise" & a song is a song & > not a track" and why Brahms-Beatles-Stockhausen-Kraftwerk comparisons > may be quite valid. DO pay attention, will you dear? "quite valid" as in UTTER_NONSENSE , sorry !!! :-/ i DO pay attention , but u are talkin' nothin' but crap here , rick !!! *sigh* :-o > Of course a guitar is a synthesizer. excuse me please , but in what kind of "dream world" do u live then , eh ??? >:-O what's next then ??? :-o comparin' ambient music with heavy metal ??? :-/ what kind of drugs are u on , mate ??? *BWG* ;-))) PLEASE get back to THE_FACTS & to a thoughtful discussion , but STOP botherin' us with such a PLAIN_NONSENSE , rick !!! :-/ > It's just that the parameters are more or less fixed, > unless you're Jimi Hendrix. your "parameters" are very obviously TOTALLY_OUT_OF_CONTROL & u are also far from bein' ANYTHIN' like jimi hendrix , mate !!! :-o PLEASE_GET_REAL_AGAIN_!!! *sigh* :-o however ... greetinx , oh jay *~\^/~*
