@yesterdaychild that's just. what? you don't even need perfect pitch to have musical intelligence? or to be a wonderful singer? what a silly thing to insist on
i don't get this zeal for superlativification* that some armys have. the tannies are great! they're not the best at everything! that's ok! we still love and admire them!
*i made up this word, therefore i have all 9 types of intelligence, give me my intelligence points
@yesterdaychild @purplecoww perfect pitch isn’t even necessarily that helpful tbh. Like, sure it’s nice in a couple niche circumstances but it’s not what determines whether melodies you compose are compelling, or if you can harmonize well or a hundred other music skills i could mention here
@Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww There are tons of extraordinary musicians/singers who can't read music. That has never interfered with their ability to write and perform.
@MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww
"saying that they couldn't possibly be great musicians and singers because they couldn't read music!"
THE DEUCE YOU SAY.
Fie upon these scoundrels.
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww the guy second from the top looks like one of my old guitarists. 😂
@MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww
That was one of the producers who hung out with us? He worked on some of the new mixes of Beatles stuff for the Red and Blue albums, was what I understood.
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww very interesting. Do indulge me with more.
@MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww
The big thing was they'd been using AI on the Beatles catalog before this new song. As you know, they used to have only 4 tracks, but nowadays they literally mic every different bit of the drum set. So they used computer modeling to separate out all the voices and instruments for a new, clean sound. They played some stuff in one of the production rooms, and the separation was amaze - like having the band there.
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww so how are you involved in all this?
I'm an audiophile nut that goes way back. And I know all the tricks of the trade with The Beatles and George Martin. 😁
@MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww
Mr. Tiki knows a guy who knows a guy - that's how we got a tour. I think they're both Star Wars collectors who are Beatlemaniacs? Anyway I got to touch the Ob-la-di piano, so I can die happy. 💜
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww oooo, We are huge Star War and Beatles fans. We have a friend who is a SW fantic. He traveled around the world to go to filming sites, and has seen the actual models used for said filming. He also recreates Star War scenes in their truest forms. It's incredible!
@MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww
We might know your friend. There's not a lot of us who are fanatical enough to go to all the filming locations!
This is my foyer. There are Star Wars fans - and then there's Mr. Tiki.
@tikistitch @MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @purplecoww this is your foyer......
and i considered myself a fan. i see i am but a filthy casual. (i am a filthy casual)
@yesterdaychild @MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @purplecoww
This is why we occasionally have camera crews stomping around the house, rearranging the furniture.
On our last trip, some jolly British friends showed us Andor locations around London, and then Mr. Tiki went hiking 10K over sand dunes to photograph a Solo filming site.
@tikistitch @yesterdaychild @Satsuma @purplecoww Do you know a Dr Dan Durda!
@MondayMarionJ @yesterdaychild @Satsuma @purplecoww
I will ask Dr. Tiki when he's up! 💜
@MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww
Ooooo pretttttty!!!
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww everyone who comes over loves this. I got it for my hubby for Christmas a few years ago.
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww I just sent Dan the photo in your foyer.
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww The Beatles and Mr Martin were so innovative. Recording then dumping down, then recording again. They got a lot out of 4 initial tracks. 4 became 8 and...
@tikistitch @Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww This is why Suga and I would get along great because I'm into all that recording stuff.
@tikistitch @MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @purplecoww u and mr tiki are literally the cutest.
@MondayMarionJ @Satsuma @purplecoww i have perfect pitch but cannot compose a song to save my life (or pass an exam, which is an actual setting i've had to test this skill in, repeatedly)
@yesterdaychild @Satsuma @purplecoww and I don't have perfect pitch but can write and play and pick up harmonies like magic.
@Satsuma @yesterdaychild @purplecoww very true. I saw that someone was pissing and moaning about the Beatles the other day, on Rick Beato's page, saying that they couldn't possibly be great musicians and singers because they couldn't read music! What a bunch of nonsense. What a ridiculous assumption. 🤨
