I have my own thoughts about the matter, but I want to see other's opinions.
I've been sorting through a bunch of OC Remix stuff, and I've been looking at the reviews.
There is this godly
Tetris remix that is as close to perfection as I have ever heard. While everyone loved it, they all said it was too long.
What gives. Why are we so inclined for little shots of 3 minite diddies when we used to be able to feast on hour long symphonies?
Thoughts?
catchy. i'm going to leave it on repeat here in the techbay at work all day.
as for length of songs, ect, music has grown in it's number of roles, due in no small part to the ability to record the sound.
It used to be, if you wanted some tunez, there were two ways to get it. song/play some music, or get someone to sing/play for you. So either you were a musician, or you paid one anytime you wanted a song.
Since you were paying for the privilidge every time, the product you were buying had to be perceived worth the value, so the performers had to really PERFORM for you.
Once the ability to record music arrived, this changed. if you wanted a tune now, you got out your wak roll and put it on the phonograph-thing, wound the handle - and lo! sweet melody caressed your ears. you didn't even need anyone that knew anything about music nearby.
from this evolved todays market. If all recordable media suddenly stopped working overnight, i'm quite sure many popular bands would be fed to the wolves for substandard live music, and composers would need orchestras again.
