silly IDMer. a c is not a c if it.s played with a
different inversion ,different texture ,with different
mic placement ,with a different group of musicians
,with drum machines or live drums backing it ,the
variations are literally infinite ,and those things
are chosen by the artist(s) who write the song. the
way those things are chosen is by filtering the base
conception of musical notes and chords or melodies
through the lens of your experiences ,for instance
even if i write a standard I-IV-V chord progression
and sing something over it ,whether or not i choose to
make it a country song ,electronic song ,danceable
,freeform ,folk music ,rap rock or some hybrid of all
of the above makes it an utterly different song from
other songs that use the same chord progression. music
is infinite in its choices ,and only a narrowmind
would see it otherwise.
