Kill one Composer

[tds]

yes but 10 chefs ruin the broth.

export them to indonesia, then. we need good chefs, bro

[go12_3]

You obviously haven't been here a very long time. Ever since I can remember, pies has been at his usual annoying antics without any sort of let up. The same goes for a few other members (whom indutrial mentioned). There is just no point in trusting them. And besides, it's the internet. You shouldn't trust anyone anyways, most especially on a public forum.

Well anyways, with that out of the way, let's say we get back to the original topic? What living composer have you had enough of and would like to see the end of?

I agree that I haven't been here long enough, but been here long enough to *know* some members that are *real* and *kind* though.     Have a great day by the way! 

best wishes,

Retrou seems to be the only one that's annoyed by my posts.  Everyone else probably couldn't care less.

I was annoyed but I decided not to say anything because I decided Retrou would do a better job at telling you off

Have you ready anything that indutrial has posted? He is also pretty fed up with you.

[pies]

Well at least he's reasonable and said it's mostly innocuous.  You and hinton were the ones suggesting bans.

Well, it is mostly innocuous, but it adds up over time. I can handle a joke or two, but you stepped over the line with that Rzewski comment. If that wouldn't have happened, I probably wouldn't care. But that Rzewski comment was unexcusable. You don't joke with the mention of a person's life. You just don't. It's incredibly tasteless and would warrant a tempban elsewhere.

[neardn]

i thought it was funny

*highfive*


ALSO JUST A REMINDER

for christ's sake you're all discussing what composer we should kill

[retrouvailles]

for christ's sake you're all discussing what composer we should kill

Well, when you put it that way it sounds bad. It's more like "which composer we've had enough of" rather than "let's kill this composer now".

[pies]

The thread is titled "kill one composer"

[ahinton]

Well at least he's reasonable and said it's mostly innocuous.  You and hinton were the ones suggesting bans.

I reiterate (because you appear not to have been listening) that I have suggested no such thing, even if only because it is not my place to do so; that kind of thing is up to Nils.

I'm not really fed up with Pies. The problems I've addressed are all long-term. At least the occasional shenanigan or shitpost is a fart in the wind in the face of some of the epic psychosis that this forum has suffered in the past. To this day, one of those folks I mentioned above is still up to the same tired horseshit. Scroll down to the first few pages of comments in the following Youtube video (

) and anyone who's been here a while will know what I'm talking about.

That being said, this thread is really tasteless. I wouldn't want to find myself in the position of having talked/joked about someone dying in a genre where most of the talked-about composers could very well kick the bucket any day. I wouldn't feel guilty (I'm certain that I'm not any sort of sorcerer), but it would definitely feel a little dirty.

by the way, that person (John11inch) was on the forum just in case you did not know.

That's what I was alluding to, albeit indirectly.

was I around when Albeit was, because I don't remember him.

[indutrial]

yeah, that Albeit guy was a real douchebag as well

To kill anyone, you have yourself to be alive in the first place; you may not care for Medtner's music as some of us here do, but your attitude towards him does you no favours at all.

Kapustin IS jazz, just listen to it

To determine (insofar as it can be determined at all) whether or to what extent any of Kapustin's music is jazz, one has first to define jazz and then account for how those particular works fall within the scope of such a definition; that is by no means as easy as you might assume. That Kapustin is conscious of and has arguably been influenced at times by certain minds of what we may call jazz may be the case, but there is undoubtedly more to his music than just that, just as is the case with Ravel.

Alistair

[gep]

Could we please please PLEASE stop killing composers??!!

Good grief, I know there are a few that I believe are musically dead, but I wouldn't one to drop dead!

[scarabin]

You talk like a nerd  are you a professor wannabe 
As I think you already know the Medtner comment was a joke...
Kapustin is still Jazz, either pathetic way you try and put it

That was not wise. Now you will have to read his page long ramblings.

For the dubious benefit of "scarabin", I am a composer. I am not an academic. The Medtner remark may have been a joke to him/her but I see little evidence of anyone laughing. Kapustin's music is what its listeners may want it to be, I guess; my point was and is that, whatever the connections with jazz that some of it may have, there is much more to Kapustin than that.

If the above is a "page long", you must have very short pages...

To the same amount as you were. (Ah, what a nasty answer!)

I took a relaxative, feeling juszzzzzt fine....

by the way I also wanna kill Sorabji again   and again...

He doesn't write like a nerd.  He writes like a man with a beard.

No, he IS a nerd - at least he gives that distinct impression when writing as he did...

Well now, aren't you a clever one. Go mow the f**king lawn or take out the garbage, you annoying brat. This board is not in need of any more mindless s**t-posts from wanna-be firebrands in the below-25 bracket.

[ahinton]

If you want to gamble your money that way, be my guest.

by the way I also wanna kill Sorabji again   and again...

Then desist from posting in this thread which, daft as it is in principle in any case, is "Kill one Composer", not more than one (and you've already made your murderous intentions towards Medtner clear, daft as they also are).

Best,

Alistair

[ahinton]

Go mow the f**king lawn or take out the garbage

I'm far from certain that I'd entrust him with lawnmowing duties, but he certainly has no shortage of garbage of which to dispose, as long as he doesn't do it in the direction of this forum...

Best,

Alistair

[ahinton]

He doesn't write like a nerd.  He writes like a man with a beard.

For the benefit (if any) of those here who might care to know (if any), would you care to elucidate as to how it is that the writings of people with beards differ from those of people who do not? Also, do you consider that certain characteristics of people's writings change when they either acquire or shave off beards as a direct consequence of such acquisition or disposal and, if so in either or both cases, would you care to provide some illustrative examples?

A fascinating topic, to be sure; at least it gets away from that of murdering composers...

Best,

Alistair

[retrouvailles]

Kapustin is still Jazz, either pathetic way you try and put it 

No he isn't. He is missing one of the fundamental elements of jazz, which is improvisation. For that reason, he has said that he has never been a jazz musician. Now, piss off.

[pies]

Kapustin is jazzical.  Get it?  FAIL. 

[scarabin]

So sorry I hurt your feelings

So, you have proved that you can spell jazz. Well done. Now it might be sensible for you to take "retrouvailles"' advice...

My Kapustin etudes record arent improvised but its still jass "sorry" jazz
and retrovailles
fuckaduck  

[gep]

I see Scarabin and pies want to change the subject from "Kill one composer" to "proof that I'm braindead".

So you've proven it, well done. Now get lost to get your diaper changed, for they are clearly full of sh*t.

[pies]

  I didn't do anything this time.  scarabin's the sole shi­thead.

[scarabin]

Yes I take full responsibility
