The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!
I'm not a big Beato fan but he makes some good points at time. This is one of those times IMO. I know some of the younger generation will disagree with the whole premise. Being born in 1951 the boomer gen was hit with the same indictment about the new Rock & Roll music. There was some truth in it. But we didn't care because we liked R&R. I expect the same from some today who like today's music. but I think if you listen you may find some morsels which can be enlightening. This is especially true for musicians who may find they agree wholeheartedly..
On one hand, @goose ? I have to assume that you are only referring to the new artists/musicians that have used your brother's studio? |
You completely miss his point about the mechanisation of the human musician gesture which make it more easy to create ready-made consumers products instead of artistic creation. For sure there is advantage to mechanisation of musical process. There is. But Beato point is not negating advantage but to point to a big unobserved problem.

Beato point is not new against old or vice versa.it is not about dad taste or new artist creativity. It is about the manufacturing content of music and manufacturing the complete artistic scene as a factory... My God! Some people are not able to understand a simple point without attacking the man or distorting his meaning. Why am i not surprized? Guess why.... |
I dont listen music because it is old or new but because it is good... Josquin desPrez is good and Bob Dylan too... Music for me is not just the consumation of always new products one after the other... It is more exploring to discover something i will kept listening till death.
Then your sentence reveal that you listen music as a distraction from boredom then it takes always something new...All classical beautiful songs from the 60 &70 has nothing to do for you. I myself half the time listen for the hundred’ th time what i love from any era since Gregorian chants till today...I dont use music as a consumer product to kill silence but as a sacred emotional experience... Good music has nothing to do with his country of birth or his date of birth... Bob Dylan was a genius then and is today.. I just discovered last week a promising new artist... But it is not so often... I ask if not genius true free creativity... In a word i want if not ectasy pure artistic genius why less ?
