Moseph Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Doesn't that arguably cover all non-VG music, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erineclipse Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Doesn't that arguably cover all non-VG music, too? well with non instrumental music you have lyrics which can add extra depth to a song (or take it away.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Instrumental music is not limited to video game music. Moseph is right, you pretty much just described music in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erineclipse Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 You haven't listened to a lot of music outside of video games, I can tell. i said pop music, you know like the stuff you hear on the radio (at least where I live.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were limiting this discussion to VGM and pop music. Cuz you know, there are other types of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erineclipse Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were limiting this discussion to VGM and pop music.Cuz you know, there are other types of music. yes i know, but i wanted to limit it to videogame music in case there was an obscure genre ive never heard of that does not have these facets. i referenced pop music as an example that not all genres have 7 facets. for example, britney spears music has a facet of sexual arousal, as an actual feature of the music, when you hear her voice. im not sure if *most* videogame music has that quality, probably a couple of songs for a few people, but normally no. also im pretty sure ragtime does not have "japanese dissonance."at first i actually wanted to say "music" but at the last minute changed it to "videogame music."

Nabeel Ansari Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Any style of music can have any of these facets. It's up to the artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erineclipse Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Any style of music can have any of these facets.It's up to the artist. yes of course. most videogame music does not have all of these facets, but the key is that videogame music without at least one or two of these facets will suck.

erineclipse Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hmm, you might have a point there.But what is an example of music that doesn't have these facets? Pop music, and ice cream truck music, some house music, some dance, electronica and techno, some forms of rock and roll, and classical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabeel Ansari Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Pop music, and ice cream truck music, some house music, some dance, electronica and techno, some forms of rock and roll, and classical. All music has these facets. Pop music is usually happy or sad and ice cream truck music falls into the haunted category. Rock and roll = pop music Classical music contains all of these facets. Electronica, techno, dance etc. all have happy or sad or energetic in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROTO·DOME Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Why has no one pointed out the fact there are apparently only seven? I don't even understand the purpose of this thread. ...Japanese dissonance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Let's try putting that in a sentence. "I think your mix could do with some more Japanese Dissonance. Adding a few shamisens playing parallel tritones would really jazz things up." or "Good use of Japanese Dissonance, I think if Schönberg played koto it would basically sound like this." ...yeah, I got nothing.

Nabeel Ansari Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 "Good attempt at a mix, but you need to study the 7 facets of video game music. It's a scholarly article written by a scholar of some scholarly subject in a scholarly place. It tells you basically that music needs to have more than one note in it."
