"What I am"

Posted by Phonometrologist - October 16th, 2013


I've been weighing composition for quite some time, and I'm just on my way in learning how to transfer that knowledge via the computer. I want to use this account primarily as an outlet to the results that come out of that, and to perhaps gain insight, encouragement, or criticism from others that are far more talented and knowledgeable than I am.

There are a lot of great artists here, and I know it is often natural for people to be intimidated or feel competitive in their craft, but as I quote Joshua Homme, "the thing is to put out music for music's sake."

And regarding on just one side of how I approach composition:
"Everyone will tell you I am not a musician. That is correct.
From the very beginning of my career I class myself a phonometrographer. My work is completely phonometrical... Science is the dominating factor.
Besides, I enjoy measuring a sound much more than hearing it. With my phonometer in my hand, I work happily and with confidence.
What haven't I weighed or measured? I've done all Beethoven, all Verdi, etc. It's fascinating.
The first time I used a phonoscope, I examined a B flat of medium size. I can assure you that I have never seen anything so revolting. I called in my man to show it to him.
On my phono-scales a common or garden F sharp registered 93 kilos. It came out of a fat tenor whom I also weighed.
Do you know how to clean sounds? It's a filthy business. Stretching them out is cleaner; indexing them is a meticulous task and needs good eyesight. Here, we are in the realm of pyrophony." - Erik Satie
