| Lots of songs have stories behind them, but omstly it's rap stuff. Marilyn Manson's 3 albums, Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holywood are a trilogy of stories following someone. |

| Well, here's the original thought i had, and it's concerning the one song i have posted on the music board...
I'm still putting in alot of work into the song. tweaking, finxing, adding...
and i think this would come across really nicely in a music video, but that's no the intention i have...
the whole song is suppost to be like the Al Greens, soul of funkness, coming down and reaking havok on the cd player of a little radio station...like, his funkiness comes down and just starts jamming with the music... so the song would start off with a slow intro, probably atomospheric, slowly progressing into radio host type vocals, into the al green track, which, at one point jumps in the track i created, then at the end of the track, with the radio dj's trying to figure out what's wrong, they put on a break beat so one of them can scratch...and the song continues from there
can this be done stricyl audio.....
..i guess so eh???? |

| if your music is not a storyline that changes thru time then your song is a fuckin loop!
heaheah
i mean were all doin it at first (stop frontin!!!)but we all aim for the song that doesnt sound redundant and have a different part that changes each time except maybe the chorus when it can be acceptable to be kinda the same since thats the whole purpose of it :D |
|
Coolness: 141990
| i'm not really talking about how the song builds, like chorus and all, seeing as the track doesn't really have one...but can you give the track meaning through a fictional storyline...kinda of how a comics art gives life to the words, the songs music gives life to the story and vice versa...
BUH>? |

| the fear factory album - obsolete is one big story about how robots rose to power. About heros. About death. I love that album. |
|

| like Dj Q-Berts Wave Twisters, is a story about an interstellar dental commander...there's even a animated video |

| well i think it's fairly obvious a track could have a plot line determined by the lyrics and so on.. tell a story like that lost boyz track about the girls that dies, or wu tang's tears..
but it's a deeper question to ask wether or not tones, melodies and sounds can have a so called 'plot'. but if you look at the way classical music, obviously exposed to the most critical-intellectual type scrutiny of any major genre, well it's generally accepted among classical music heads that good compositions, symphonies and such would tell a story, have intros, climaxes, peaks, aftermaths, and all that shit. probably. or something like that. not that i really know -i guess that's what makes it a deeper question. naaamean? |

| Fred Penner, look at it in this light
Music is art
Art is just another language
you can say whatever you want using this language, probally more than what you can say using spoken words.
So what prevents music from telling a story? |
|
Coolness: 64530
| music can tell the most pure type of story because it's not encumbered by the restrictions of words.
if you listen to the score of a ballet it definitely has an evolution to it, even if the story is abstract and completely individual to each individual.
but hey, isn't that what art is supposed to do, evoke something in each person?
i agree with what am i death said. |

Coolness: 472430
| Even in my dj sets i try to create a story ...
Maybe i'm the only one that gets it thought LOL |
|
Coolness: 102830
| i agree with Am I Death too. Everytime i play/compose music, i always think that i speak another language ( and i hope that people understand :lol). A 3 notes melody can say a thousand words for me.
So fred, just do it man and have fun :) |
|
Coolness: 141990
| I don't want to hope...
i just worry that, because the song (even more so now) is kindof unconventional at times...that insted of paying attention to what's happening, they'll focus more on what happened and why it sounds like that...there's not going to be any vocals, except for the radio dj's...
OH...and...does anyone have any scratchable CDJ's??? anyone??? |
