Do you think that we as a species have perfected the making of instruments?
What do you think instruments will look like in the future?
My hot take is that stringed instruments will fall out of fashion
>>
>>128844856
Instruments are already dead m8
Just use a computer
The fuck do you need a balalaika or guitar for?
>>
We will retvrn to stringed instruments after the big electronic debacle
>>
>>128844868
No we won't
Who's gonna push it onto the masses?
The record companies sure as hell aren't
Spotify and other streaming service algorithms won't
So who's gonna feed the normalfags the strings?
>>
>>128844862
so i can smash it on stage after snorting coke mid set of course

Read what?
Music only gets big cause record companies push it
The masses don't give two fucks about music
>>
>>128844906
That's just dumb. I happen to have a collection of field recordings of popular village folk music from around the world. Music has been popular since forever ago.

How on earth do you get to be so so dumb? You must actually try to be this dumb.
>>
>>128845152
>this folk music made back when there was literally nothing to do is proof people will keep playing stringed instruments haha
How many people do you know under 50 who play folk music?
>>
>>128845174
Like singing in church or playing other traditional music or blues or jazz or anything? Plenty actually.

Your whole premise is dumb and gay like you though. All through history, music has been popular. It was popular in fucking Sumeria lol.

Go on, shoo, zoomie. Read a book, then come back and give us your hot takes on music. You need help.
>>
>>128845204
The general population doesn't listen to church music, traditional folk, or blues/jazz anymore anon
They listen to computer slop
Every fucking country south of the US only listens to fucking reggaeton now despite all of their traditional music genres
>>

>The general population doesn't listen to church music, traditional folk, or blues/jazz anymore anon
They are all extremely popular, I would wager more people listen to those than say, kpop or rap.

Your mind's been demented by stream statistics. Streaming's botted, kiddo. People still make music themselves all over the world, with no thought about commercial aspects of it. Just for fun.

I've seen you (it has to be you, you're an anomaly with how dumb you are) all over this board with your hot little takes. It's funny to see you in action, you're just not very good at Internet.

>>
>>128845308
It's tough to say but blues is still very popular. I would bet blues sells more albums - people only listen to rap for free on streaming services.
>>
>>128845358
Name a blues artist a young person would know
Name a blues artist under 50
>>
>>128844868
I think so, too. I think people will lose their appetite for AI generated stuff quickly once it costs them their jobs and they start being asked to shower twice a week, do laundry once a month and set their thermostats to 80 in the summer for the sake of the precious data centers
>>
>>128845367
Why? You've clearly decided you're right, given absolutely nothing to base that on.

The commercial music world is hurting, the trends are fake. People don't give a shit. Big festivals are a hassle, and bands don't need to sign to a label to tour.

Rappers get billions of streams but... they are still filming their videos from rented cars and rented mansions.

It's not clear if there's a lot of money changing hands like there used to be on the street, people walking in and buying music. Now the revenue is all calculated, and probably a lot depends on corporate family sleazy incest practices, like a certain studio that is owned by a company that also owns a record label, will only use their artists or catalog.

None of this money ends up being real, anon. It's a giant paper money mess and the trends aren't sticking either. There are pretty much zero iconic, post-2000 bands. Ones that have staying power, where people still buy the albums. Napster and then bittorrent and finally, because zoomers are inept, easy "piracy" off Youtube then streaming sites killed it.

They can't force a trend. And the revenue seems mostly fake. None of these trends you think are so lasting, produce anything of note for posterity.

Blues will be played in 100 years. Sabrina Carpenter won't. Taylor Swift won't. K-pop won't. Just as it is today.

I don't hear blues being blared out of car windows m8
I hear rap and reggaeton
>>
>>128845571
>rap and reggaeton
These feel so momentary its hilarious. Lapse of reason will be people picking up wooden guitars again and play for their fanilies and friends. No one is gonna miss those retarded denbow drums nor replicate them irl once theyre gone.
>>
>>128845786
Rap's been around since the 70s
>>
>>128845571
>I don't hear blues being blared out of car windows m8
Blues listeners don't blare it out the car windows. You sound like a moron.

Strings instruments have been here for thousands of years. Suddenly you personally start sucking dick and think the world changed for everyone.

No. There is still more to discover and there is instruments that are good and severely under utilized.

>>128844862
this is kinda true but not really. Use both, experiment with both if you got the money and time.
>>
>>128844856
>future
>instruments
have you lived under a rock lately?
>>
>>128846623
>mandolin
Since when is that a blues instrument lmao
Folk sure but blues? Come on
>>
>>128847340
>>128844862
what if you need to play music for/with someone irl
and ofc learning an instrument and songs/improvisation on it is more conducive to developing your own musicality than just mouse inputting notes into a computer
>>
>>128844862
dawslop will be obsoleted by aislop, only the purity of man and acoustic instrument will stand
>>
in the near future
>use AIdawslop
>start recording song
>play chord
>NOOO YOU CANT PLAY THAT ITS COPYRIGHTED. TRY AGAIN
>NOO THAT PROGRESSION IS ILLEGAL CANT RECORD THAT. TRY AGAIN. ONLY 3 TRIES LEFT BEFORE I CALL THE COPS.
you know its coming.

>Do you think that we as a species have perfected the making of instruments?
We've gotten way worse at it and we have shittier materials to work with
>>
>>128844856
we have to start over from baroque instrumentation and bring back the viola da gamba, theorbo, clavichord etc, the standard modern orchestra was a mistake,
also develop the grand clavichord
>>
viola da gamba my beloved

You can't actually capture the subtlety and artfulness of instruments with computers. Popsloppers have only ever heard their once-recorded highly processed songs and are ignorant of the real complexity of music making.
>>
last killer instrument invented was the ondes martenot and the trautonium, after that, only instrumentslop
>>
>>128847359
That's one song. They do a lot of roots and southern rock type stuff. I just felt like linking that one. They do bluesy stuff too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqh1IOXx2QY
Singer is also like married or something to Tyler Brant. Another young bluesy dude.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2YGMdGJOF4
It's not the greatest to me personally, but it exists. A lot of stuff still does.
