  1. Adam again on AI and music. As usual, worth listening

    "Berklee College of Music now teaches classes in AI songwriting, and that's a really dumb idea. "

  2. Q by Xander—How should we get kids into #music? Giving every 6 yo a recorder is lame.

    A by #AdamNeely—Just give every kid a #DAW, and they'll be making sick #beats in no time.

  3. #MusicMonday! Actually, easy pick this week, since I've seen them live on Saturday: #Sungazer, a musical duo consisting of #AdamNeely and #ShawnCrowder. Never heard of them before (a friend took me), but LOVED every second of their set! Hard to pick favorites since their songs are all so different, but here's one from their full-length debut "Perihelion" that I really like:

  4. I came to support #adamneely and was blown away by #sungazer !

    PS. I can now dance two step to a 22 by 23 polyrhythm :)

  5. I started paying for a Nebula.tv subscription a few months back as a way to support #JacobGeller, #münecat, #AdamNeely, and other video creators more directly.

    As #youtube continues to think I have an ad-blocker enabled, I'm looking to move my video viewing over to Nebula. I just need more suggestions on who to follow.

    Who are your favorite Nebula video makers? Jacob Geller is one of my faves.

  6. Rediscovered this classic video for music nerds. The story of the greatest key change in pop music of all time.
    Powerful story!

  7. This #AdamNeely video on #Laufey and #jazz is absolutely worth a watch. I was vaguely familiar with Laufey before this but I have only ever heard sweeping orchestral ballad stuff from her that sounded very nostalgic and mid-century but I had no idea that she considers herself a “modern jazz” singer and that it’s a reputation she’s getting. Adam’s look at the cultural and musical history of jazz here is such a great way to put it all into (fair) context.

  8. a boy can dream, right?

    (via youtube.com/watch?v=68zOvCLwcL - this video is full of very interesting jazz music theory content)

  9. When I was a kid, I was taught classical violin at 7 but hated it - it put me off learning music till I was 12. I've known my entire life that all I wanted to do was be a musician and I'm lucky enough to do it as a job now.

    Even now, the implicit white supremacy of so much of the classical music world annoys the fuck out of me.

    Here's a better explanation than I can give:

  10. So ... this means that the pearl-clutching video game reactionary culture is buried right? What else could have done cultural fusion and revitalisation like this but a new undefined medium and art-form, the very things that trigger reactionary, conservative and dumb "mainstream" critiques.

  11. "it gives me a bit of an uneasy feeling that the person who runs the company that owns #bandcamp has such profound misunderstanding of music" -- #AdamNeely on Tim Sweeney's (CEO of Epic Games) suggestion that musical notation is silly and inefficient and that it would be much better if everyone moved to piano roll notation, since it's symmetric across octaves and much more visually intuitive (i will not link to his birdsite, but that's where this is from)

    yikes. damn.

  12. CW: music

    I love Adam Neely's explanations of music theory and what it's like to be a jazz musician struggling to make a living in New York. But I wasn't so sure I liked his actual music. I'd call it electro-jazz . It's packed with technically sophisticated harmonies and song structures, and rhythmic tricks like quintuplets. But despite my love for such stuff, it didn't move me.

    This song, Bird on the Wing, actually does:

  13. Wem gehört eigentlich die Musik? 🧐

    "Musik, Melodien, Phrasen und Rhythmen sind Teil einer gemeinsamen gesellschaftlichen Sprache... ...Sofern man sich nicht in völlige atonalität begibt, bewegt man sich in einem 'begrenzten' Raum an Begriffen und Formeln (vor allem im Pop). Rein statistisch werden also im Laufe der Jahre immer wieder gleichartige bis identische Ideen auftauchen."

  14. I like a lot of Nebula creators. If they had a Nebula instance they could benefit from sharing a consistent social platform and easy cross-discoverability. I was gonna just list a few but I just found all of them I regularly watch:

    #Wendover, #NotJustBikes, #AdamNeely, #BrainCraft, #CityBeautiful, #LindsayEllis, #PhilosophyTube, and #TomNicholas

  15. If you remember that time Katy Perry was sued for $2.8 million, and lost, in a copyright infringement case over 8 notes of an ostinato melody ... well, that verdict was overturned in March of 2020.

    The case might be known to some reading this through Adam Neely's excellent analsyis. Over which he was sued by Warner Brothers for a segment that did not include WB's own claimed work, over which they'd just lost a copyright case. But I digress.
