Soul of the artist V oil and canvass
Feb 04, 2003, 15:26
Music is a man made thing. Too right!

How does a peice of wood with strings have soul. How is it human. Surely the soul is in the person that uses it. There is plenty of souless guitar music just as there is plenty of electronic music with real humanity.

In a painting is the humanity in the oil and canvass or in the painter?

Guitars and modern recording technology are both man made tools or devices all use electrics or electronics. All recorded music has made use of technology.

I listen to a lot of electronic music and also a lot of guitar based music. I cannot understand just listening to one or the other. Variety as Grufty says.

There is a qoute from Copey on the MA TV program where he said that "If Beethoven had an electric guitar he would be playing, any one who is a forward thinking MoFO has something new he would be using it". Too Right. Just as if Beethoven had a sampler he'd be using it. Copey's qoute was good but it would have only been truly controversial in the 1950s. The Irony being that the music for the MA program did make use of more than just electric guitars etc.
