Journal Journal: Jazzier everyday

It's great to see my predictions were correct. Music in general is moving into jazz directions. It's absorbing it's enharmonic chords, syncopated rythm and nude instrumentations (some call it "acoustic".
This was obviously the only way out of the vulgarity of "automatic" simple compositions of 2 or 3 chords, 1 static rythmic structure that pop has flooded us in the last 20/30 years. Just way and you'll see...

Yes that's correct. What I meant was that there is no less than infinite variants in human playing that cannot be measured (or we'd take infinite time to do it). For instance, a quarter note is 1 beat, but how long does it last? if you press piano pedal it can spread several beats, and together with next notes it may form a chord. In guitar arpeggios this happens quite often, if not always... even in a melody, the duration of notes depends on the instrument and on the interpretation. If we want legato the note shall last the whole beat, or even a little longer into next note (specially for piano players). The strength applied, the direction strings are picked, the left hand and left arm movement, ... all these are affected by a trained instrumentist humour and techique, and surelly affect the way a music sounds. If you reduce this to a one-dimension machinery, it'll sound like... a machine. I don't consider that even music.
