"...And the strange musical outgoings

of ???????? composers were out of tune,

with public taste,,,"

[ShockTheseTrees]

"...And the strange musical outpourings

of avant-garde composers were out of tune,

with public tastes,,,"

[robertronics]

what are his words in 6:48?

"and among trenchant ????? workers

and ???????? of human contact

which doesn´t mean that

they always like each other

but there´s a human contact

with others fighting for place ????

I cant make out those words!

help!

[ShockTheseTrees]

Whoops, you were right about "trenchant" and I messaged "transient" to you.

[noonward]

hobo more like HOMO!

[ShockTheseTrees]

LOL!

[themightycelestial]

Okay, I'm convinced.

I'm going to become a hobo & refine my genius.

Goodbye my fellow youtubers

...you pretentious bunch of conforming bastards.

[nodestudio]

Argh! Just when I start thinking this guy's a complete nut job, I begin to admire him.

@15ips if that doesn't work, shoot does and write like Ted Nugent. "Wango Tango" B-)

[Beelzubub13]

@ScreenJunkie Your response is the equivalent of stating that someone is insane because they speak Chinese. It's a different musical language and you can make an effort to understand or move along, but your judgement doesn't really mean much.

[15ips]

@themightycelestial I'm going to start an alcoholic lifestyle so I can write like Charles Bukowski. If that doesn't work, I'll shoot dope and try to write like Burroughs.

[jimmywrangles]

It seems to me Patch deliberately tried to make his music sound bad.

It's crap.

He may have been some sort of genius but he couldn't write a decent tune for shit.

[Herooftimex]

Moondog and cage and partch would great along wonderfully.

[Curetiamhices]

be more specific on Penderecki. he has "some" avant-garde compositions.. "some" the majority of his compositions are Serial. Luigi Nono is another great Serial composer.

[Curetiamhices]

interesting art!,

There is no "best art" all art is different!

I like Maestro's Cage expression !

[ScreenJunkie]

I always figured I had quite a musical ear but if this the "full musical scale" apparently I'm tonedeaf. But in reality it's just the ravings of a diseased mind.
