Twenty minutes ago I came to ubo, twenty minutes have passed, twenty minutes that I should have slept through.

How do you know that ubo isn't itself a dream, anon?

Let me explain more about the d-bag who composed it. He grew up in the soviet union and moved to a more western European country where he became a fairly successful restaurateur. He took a few classes in composition ages ago. He's basically a wannabe composer. The only reason why anybody plays his shit is because he constantly gives owners of venues and conductors free meals and wine. He tries to schmoos with them. Wouldn't be surprised if he gave them a blowjob too. Eventually he sucked enough dick to get his shit played in front of the pope. He got, "inspired", by all the praise and attention he got during this and decided to make his, "masterpiece". This is the worst thing he's done so far. He had a strained relationship with his publisher because his shit wouldn't actually sell. He told his publisher, who he did not hire to promote him, that when his waiters don't do their job he fires them. He actually compared his publisher to the lowly, dispensable waiters at his restaurants.

God, you weren't exaggerating.
That was truly an obnoxious mess.

The cover looks like this (except for some edits I made).

What kind of experiment is this?
Please, proceed.

Here's the description of the song. I changed a few things.

This is what he looks like.

His restaurant.

Why do you hate this guy so much? The song isn't that terrible. I was expecting cacophonous screaming or something.

>The song isn't that terrible.
I've been studying music for a number of years. To the average person, this song probably just sounds bland, boring, and while not the kind of thing you would listen to, nothing particularity offensive. In actuality, the piece(songs have lyrics) is fucked up on a fundamental level musically. The repetitiveness, the excessive percussion, the way that the style randomly changes, the rambling. It fucking sucks. It doesn't work together. Worse has been made sure, but this is some bottom-tier shit. Listen to Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. That's good music. I know it's an unfair comparison, but it shows you an example of how music should be. Music should fit together well like a puzzle, this is a mess.

Also, I bet you didn't even listen to all of it. To fully comprehend its awfulness, you can't just skim through it. You have to sit and listen while being completely focused on it.

I got about 10 minutes through it, and at about 30 seconds my thought was suddenly, "This is a song that has forgotten why it needed to be written." Meaning, it does not have a purpose for existing, meaning it should be put out of its misery, meaning it should be killed.

The mixing is very bad, there was no mastering, there are enormous gaps in the background compensated for by shrill and heavy-handed frontal claps of snare drums while the flutes are doing flamboyant things over and over for NO FUCKING REASON - not to contrast or accentuate, just to do it BECAUSE FLUTES ARE SO FANCY AMIRITE.

I feel sorry for the fucking pope, having to listen to this shit and probably complement it politely just to hold back his true opinions which would be sinful to repeat within the walls of the Vatican.

I don't know much about sound editing, so that part didn't seem to be too bad to me, guess I was wrong. He actually paid a lot of money to have this recorded. Real musicians played it and everything. The pope thankfully didn't have to listen to this particular piece. I was a bit unclear about this, but he actually made this after he visited the pope. He was, "inspired", by the region he went to and decided to write a song about it, which is what you listened to. What was played for the pope is slightly less intensely awful. What you listened to is his worst song. As time went by he forgot more and more of the stuff that he learned in the composition classes he took and his projects got more and more flamboyant and ambitious and political as his ego inflated.

I have a song that you will like. More like a dissertation on music than music itself, it taught me a lot about sound.

Was that your idea of a joke? The song in op is shit and your cheekiness doesn't change that. I'm not pretentious for recognizing when something is bad.

>>1450
you seem to be very angry. You should have listened to the entire song. Then it would have made sense to you

>>1451
I'm not angry.

>>1452
so this is lasik? I don't feel like it's such an outpatient procedure like they say

>>1453
Fall of Constantinople get!

But seriously, OP, did you listen to Bar from start to finish? I know it's unpleasant but give it a shot and you'll see some really interesting ideas surface. It is one of those things that can be learned, but not taught, you know?
