I quite like a bit of pretention, but I suspect it's like that lime marmalade my housemate made me try last week: delicious in appropriate doses however too much and it'll make you sick. Queazy at the very least.
Tonight I found the most fantastically pretentious artist description on SoundCloud. Here it is for you to enjoy and tease your gag reflex with:
I'm an intuitive artist. I have to feel everything I do in music if my body is not rocking to the beat, I know, that's not my all. So, I have no problem exploring avenues of thought and sounds of style.
I'm pretty stoked to be on Soundcloud meeting other like minded artists that LOVE creating music it's a powerful experience in being able to share frequencies of emotive energy amongst people who understand the language being spoken through music. To me, music is a powerful gift and I truly love sharing this experience with you!
1) So she's intuitive. That's good, no great art has ever been made by someone who actually thought about what they were doing. But...
2) ...how does this allow her to explore different musical genres? I don't understand her use of the word "so", like the first part of the paragraph qualifies the second. And...
3) ...what exactly is "sounds of style"? I don't understand what this means. I think she means to say varying genres, but if thats so then why doesn't she just say that? "Sounds of style" suggests to me a free compilation CD that would come with a copy of Vogue magazine.
4) Nobody who isn't a blonde-haired surfer 'dude' or a character in Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure is allowed to say "stoked". That's a rule. Plus it just doesnt fit with the electronica producer image. It'd be like my grandma saying that this week's episode of Escape To The Country was bitchin'.
5) Now we come to my biggest gripe... What. The. Fuck. Are "frequencies of emotive energy", I fucking ask you? Perhaps if I was at Glastonbury festival, off my face at 4am in the stone circle and a septuagenarian hippie in naught but a loin cloth and an elaborate hat began massaging my cocking 'shakras', perhaps only then would I even entertain the idea of listening to someone talk about "frequencies of emotive energy". WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! Energy has no emotion, please remember your secondary school physics. There was potential energy, heat energy, sound energy Not happy energy, suspicious energy, fucking hubristic energy. The second half of that sentence is even more inexplicable.
6) "...the language being spoken through music". Its "through" I have the problem with here; people talk about the language of music all the time and I completely agree. It's a universal language, a way of expressing emotion and intent and feeling through wordless sound. What language is being spoken "through" music, please tell me? Especially INSTRUMENTAL ELECTRONICA? Substitute the word music in that sentence for any other language. Lets take French: "The language being spoken through French". If you said that people would think you were a retard. They'd be right, too.
I think that'll do. But I'll leave you with this, her comment on a friend's SoundCloud track and the trail of inane, self-important breadcrumbs that led me to her. Enjoy, and dont cover all of that lovely new top in your own vomit.
"Love the intensity of the tonal value and the theme of this music."
WHAT. DO. YOU. MEAN?
