Music Library ChallengeHey music loving friends,So I have this music advisor, Michael Adamczyk, he's about 70 and he's been teaching me composition. He's a really talented guy and composes a lot of music himself. His style is fairly modern along the lines of Villa-Lobos. Anyway, we were having this talk about "the kids these days" and modern music etc and he was saying basically that only it's only interesting to listen to classical music or possibly jazz and everything else is boring and repetitive. Which I sort of agree with... I mean, if you take the lyrics out of most music, it is pretty repetitive... HOWEVER I know there is some really interesting music going on in the pop, alternative and electronic world. I just don't know where it is. Anyway, I'm trying to come up with some music that isn't classical, jazz, or written before 1955 that I would consider musically interesting or particularly lovely, as in interesting harmonies, rhythms, techniques etc. I don't think that production or lyrics is particularly important... Do you have any suggestions of a song or two to put on my CD of "Ten songs that prove there is hope for humanity"? PS: I just gotta put a Beatles song on my CD... which one? My kid voted "Here Comes the Sun" Maybe the Medley from Abbey Road? PPS: Extra points for an example of musically or technically impressive Rap. LOL |
