@12tonevideos Well as a percussionist, I must say that rather than think it, I hulk out and then ratta tat tat. Or in the case of mallets, you poke it very selectively.

The instrument we know as a Marimba in the west was not originally oriented like a piano, but instead was a solid plank of notes laid out in order, more akin to frets on a guitar, and didn't always have half steps.

Tweet a random music fact

Based on the debate tonight, it looks like we'll see what wins over the people more: hope or fear.

But if you're curious, feel free to ask and I'll give the abridged version

I feel like the point has been lost. Originally it seems like it was used to explain commonalities between pieces of an era and genre, then composers could use them as a framework to go by.

Question: What's the point of music theory? What is it *for*? I'm especially interested in the answers from folks who consider themselves music theorists but definitely want to hear from others as well!

as for my credentials, this is the person who invented alphanumeric set theory. Don't be surprised if you haven't heard of it, I did not publish it.

@Facundini_ @Elizapigs @Sideways440 Nah, they'll just say it's an avant garde style or its a new take on 20th century techniques.

Fun idea: why don't we all post a quote from our WIP or published novels? Just one sentence, does not have to be amazing, could be dialogue or a transition. I just think it would be fun to see the different styles of writing

@12tonevideos do you ever want to analyze a song but find it incredibly difficult because the song is so heavy? Not necessarily the instrumentation, chords, or the lyrics, but the emotions it brings to you? I find that happens every time I try to analyze Blackstar by David Bowie.
