The Logic Off Topic list

Learning about instruments is also my goal, just like you said. Wich brings me back to the start of this dicussion; you'll have to understand a lot about music in all it's aspect and traditions if you'd like to come to a good result. In a lot of music wich has come grasp of many amateurs (thanks to the computer) you can see a very poor use of musical means. I think that's ashame. Todays slogan is - everyone can do everything-, this is killing art; the results on media speak for itself. And afcourse Stockhausen was a child of its time, but don't underestimate the influence of people like him on todays art. The underlying idea of " everything can be caculated" is still there ( once I've wrote a lot of serial music by the way; incredible) and not only in music. I coulnd't find an ot-mailinglist, that's too bad.
