Yes. Yes it will. Plus, the silliness would be enough to cause all sorts of weird occurences. Like a giant fish in a bear suit.

Someone needs to write a math based, anthemic, power metal song.

Vintersorg's Visions from the Spiral Generator is probably the most appropriate thing I can think of here, though its not so much anthemic power metal rather technical progressive folk.

The lyrics at first seem very bizzare but are actually quite well written, all to do with astrology, mathematics and astronomy.

"A spiral orbit circumnavigates the axis
Fragments, threads of the origin's shape
The dreary synopsis of an aeon-old praxis
Encircles the thoughts from which minds escape"

Hypnotiseur/Hypnotiseuse are the correct (gender specific) words for hypnotist, which is what I assume "hypnoteuse" was supposed to be in the context of that website. :P

I really liked learning second Viennese school composers and Expressionism, really. Unfotunately, none of my peers did. I wonder why.

Seriously, Schoenberg's "A Survivor from Warsaw" is probably the most terrifying compsition I have ever heard. Berg's Violin Concerto is amazing.

"A Survivor From Warsaw" is okay, but I have uploaded the first part of Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire" (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=BA2B28BD71E7AC9F) so people can judge for themselves. Personally I am not a fan.

Title: Re: Why are you such a hypotenuse, Jeph?
Post by: IronOxide on 19 Dec 2006, 06:06: I always liked Perriot Lunaire, it's crazy and hectic and that's just how it sounds.

"A Survivor From Warsaw" is, in my opinion, a masterwork. The thing about Shoenberg is that although he did use the twelve tone system, he did it in a fashion that throws off your ear just enough to make you uncomfortable. Which is the way that the expressionists want you to feel. When you gat into Berg and listen to Woezzeck, you cannot even think that you could evoke the same reaction with tradidional harmony. It's beautiful in the way that it invokes emotion so powerfully, which is what makes it a very strong and distinct style when used well.
Title: Re: Why are you such a hypotenuse, Jeph?
Post by: Misereatur on 20 Dec 2006, 01:06: I totally agree.*

We have to remember that Schoenberg, Berg and Webern were highly trained in classical and romantic harmony, and Schoenberg taught composition and wrote importent books on composition. I mean, it's not totally atonal and dissonant, those guys knew exactly what they were doing. It take years of training and learning to get to their level. Even if you dont like it, you have to appreciate them.

*Actually, I would rather listen to a Wagner opera then to Woezzeck, but it's still a very importent and strong opera.
