You can call this emotional all you want, but it's nothing but noise.

I've heard some true, deep and beautiful music and it's not this nor is it the stuff that's "commercial driven."

[rastakuere]

@YExoticCreature I'ts your point of view, I respect that. Now where's the "truth" Id on't know, do you ?

This apart, you can't ignore that there is a melody in this noise, to not hear it is a choice...

[mimiUmami]

what the fuck is this! ahahah

[rastakuere]

@mimiUmami Love, Hate, Happiness, Sadness, Childhood, Hope, Death, Life, Dreams, Emotions, Beauty...

[mimiUmami]

@rastakuere actually, this kinda scared me a little bit. sorry :S

[rastakuere]

@mimiUmami I can understand that too, and it's true that I've not said "Fear" and "Unknow" in my list of words" ;-)

@mightyred99 it's an older piece, just the newest made available.

i think the track was made with the visuals in mind, and personally I really like the sinister effect it adds to an otherwise innocent video.

what is this fucking garbage? Music,art,movies,it's all garbage now. Experimental my ass.Avant gard? what's avant garde about making noise and nonsense crappy loops? Humanity is going to hell, no doubt about it.To think people actually like this shit.

@FeinaMusic Why don't you make one then, I bet you there is a lot more to this then you think, a lot more thinking, a lot more passion, people make songs for a reason, if you don't like it don't listen, but don't fucking sit there and tell us how you think a song sounds, to each their own, but I don't give a fuck about yours.

[StainlessSteelStyle]

I don't know if I think this is very beautiful because Jónsi and Alex are such beautiful humans or because it really is beautiful. Maybe it's the same thing? But I know I like the colors very much and I appreciate uploaders broad mind,thanks for not getting angry ;)

It's all a matter of opinion. This is experimental and avant garde, at the very fringes of what we call music. I believe what Jonsi and Alex try to do in all of their music is paint a very vivid picture with only the most basic of sounds. We are used to lyrics over music that tell us what to feel, what to imagine, J & A make us really listen. Really think about what we are listening to and what it means to you. To me this means fear, being scared. What does it mean to you? Is it just a noise?

[Pastafield]

This is exactly what John Cage was talking about when he said that beauty is in the ear of the listener. Some people think it's amazing music and others think it's shit. That's when you ask yourself 'what is beauty?' 'who am i to decide what is beautiful?' etc. When you realise that it's a matter of subjectivity, and is based on previous musical experiences and your current mindset, you might come to appreciate this song. Even if it's just a conceptual appreciation.

Well this sure seeks the 'limits' of what's music and what is sound.

@rastakuere This is nothing like anything I've heard in music. I like the subtle shifts in melody. It's a unique shift in ambient and I give Jonsi and Alex props for pushing the genre into an uncomfortable rarely approached area instead of just accepting what is alllllways played. It's refreshing.
