I presume human music began with groups gathered around fire pits, banging sticks and bones against rocks, bones and sticks, this or whatever materials available. I can recall many a time when gathered around fires someone picks up a stick and starts banging away, soon enough the entire group has gathered up sticks, rocks, whatever and banging in unison. It always felt like some primitive instinct took over the entire group, great times. Lately I've been watching some Prehistoric-Neolithic band performances on video, awesome!
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

@polkalover Dystopian futures sometimes enter my mind, I do see some of this coming to pass, perhaps all the golden ages may be in the past. Mindless drones aka technicolor rats aka people. Doesn't take much to satisfy the people if you set expectations low enough.
But then perhaps the above all a sad delusion, get out the welding goggles for the bright white of the future, this selling big time. |
