Is It Possible to Create truly new type of music

TameasDust	Date: October 13, 2004 @ 10:18 AM or does your music sound better when played backwards?
victorsskull	Date: October 13, 2004 @ 11:40 AM Im working on a newq generation its called speed metal polka
sqrlcub	Date: October 13, 2004 @ 12:43 PM Many of the comments I receive on my music say it is in a genre to itself. I have a lot of influences but basically play an eclectic mix of classical, flamenco, folk and jazz. I'd like to hear some of that speed metal polka, victor. Replace the bass with a tuba and the keyboard with an accordian and you'd be most of the way there.
fanch-t	Date: October 13, 2004 @ 1:40 PM backwards. seriously tho, what would constitute a new type of music? does throwing elements of several different genres into one big pile mean you've made a new type of music? If one were to use unconventional sounds within a conventional song structure would it be a new type of music? mostly labels just plain suck. I wouldn't even know how to go about describing the music we make. Is it new, probably not. Is it different, for the most part i guess. Does it smell like Thanksgiving Dinner at homeless shelter, probably.
povertystricken	Date: October 13, 2004 @ 11:50 PM I guess a genre bender/blender could be considered a new genre. It's not necessarily new, but I don't think anyone has coined a term for it.Blender...TM 2004
MikeSmith	Date: October 14, 2004 @ 9:44 AM Sure, I could create a NEW TYPE of music...I could line up 10 guys who could play the bongo's with their dicks and whistle. Bet that's something that's not been tried before! ...so the real question isn't "could you create a new type of music", but can you create a new type of music that was relatively GOOD in terms of garnered wide acceptance/appreciation? Nahhhhhhhhhh...not likely. **(although, depending on what the guys playing the bongo's looked like, how big their members were...hmmmmm) Of course, I'm am feeling a little cynical this morning

Woof	Date: October 15, 2004 @ 4:41 AM Said it before, I'll say it again... Somebody once wrote: "Music is anything that I want to hear". Use that for a criteria, and it opens up a ton of possibilities...

sween	Date: December 5, 2004 @ 11:12 AM I agree with JogaLuce I don't know how to class my music because diffrent people hear it in different ways. For me, what ever comes out is theSWEEN and that's it.
nokeyah	Date: December 5, 2004 @ 1:21 PM My Music probably sounds better backwords. and yes, you can make another genre of music. It all depends on the sound.

zedsalt	Date: December 5, 2004 @ 5:29 PM I figure only two schools of thought could possibly correctly address the issue: 1)either a new type of music is created each and every time that a piece of music is created, or B) There hasn't been a truly new type of music since the very first piece of music was created. Personally, I lean towards the former.
w0rds	Date: December 5, 2004 @ 11:19 PM Now, how to create a real NEW TYPE of music? Nowadays all the so-called "new" is something blended from the other styles. Is it the end?
zedsalt	Date: December 6, 2004 @ 12:26 PM The argument that everything "new" is an amalgamation of extant music could go back to the Dawn of Man...further, depending upon the brainpower of critters that proceeded us. The first person to pass air through his/her vocal cords to make a sound...was that "new", or a rehash of something that had already been done? The idea of purposefully entertaining oneself couldn't be the difference; animals do that all the time. If the instrumentation didn't previously exist, is that "new"? Leo Theremin, Bob Moog, Hans Reichel...was that "new" music? The Middle Eastern division of tones vs. the Western octave...whichever one came second, was it "new" at the time, or just another way of notating pitches that had already been addressed? One thing you can (almost) count on: if you set out to contrive something "new", you're (usually) going to be disappointed.
Amp	Date: December 6, 2004 @ 12:51 PM i think when rap & rock form together it gets super tight...take lil jon, trick daddy, and ozzy for example...
MickeyBreezy	Date: December 6, 2004 @ 10:41 PM lil jon is the worst excuse 4 a musician ever. all his beats sound the same, he cant even rap, so he says the same thing 40 times in a song, pure garbage.
Amp	Date: December 7, 2004 @ 12:17 PM hah...wuz just using it as an example....something better....rap & rock (Jay-Z and Lincoln Park)...better??
kingo	Date: December 7, 2004 @ 12:52 PM Hey, lookee there, this thread got bumped into a stew! What the hell does rap & rock have to do with anything? The answer to the initial question is a resounding yes. Although I don't quite agree with Zedzalt's analysis; I think what really happens falls somewhere in the middle. Music evolves organically, and out of what might on a small scale seem like subtle changes (in instrumentation or song structure or rhythms or harmonic composition or whatever) new styles emerge. I'd not go so far as to say every new song is a new "type" of music; and I agree that on some level categorization is annoying; but to me there's no doubt that it's possible to non-arbitrarily differentiate between styles. While some styles may seem slippery and impossible to pin down as they're happening, the things that define them and differentiate them from other styles become obvious once a significant body of work is available. So while there's a huge range of stuff you can call "blues," it's not hard to find things that are undoubtedly able to be labelled as such. To think that 50 years from now there won't be styles that are similarly distinctive and identifiable, but that aren't really around today as such, is silly. Of course there'll be more.
invisible123	Date: January 3, 2005 @ 6:37 PM I fill that every time someone writes a new song that it is new as far as type,as long as you are useing your on style and not one that is all ready out there.I can handle any type of music from country to rap but mixing both together to me dont make a new type,unless it is a all together a new song,and not one that is allready out and they just added new words.
Veracohr	Date: January 4, 2005 @ 3:06 AM New kinds of music are pretty much always a deviation from some earlier kind of music. Metal came from rock which came from blues. Techno came from house which came from electro. Punk came from rock. So yeah, it certainly is possible to create a new style of music. People do it all the time. But unless it becomes widely popular, it's not given a name.
