The RetouchPro Music Club

[4personnen]

Anything but soft (that means Metal, metal industrial, a bit of punk, some new wave -the cynical part of "soft" - and electronic music, 80's-90's) and also the Who and David Bowie and a bit of 60's soul (the Temptations and the likes). The only piece of classical music that I can bear is "music for the funeral of queen Mary" from Purcell and some Wagner stuffs. I think that I've never listened to a piece of jazz that suits me. Except maybe "strange fruit" by Billie Holliday But I don't really know if it's Jazz. I have a sort of disgust for all 70's progressive rock Voila, that's it!

i think this has been posted before on retouchpro, but i'll post it again. this is Pandora: http://www.pandora.com/ . pandora is free. it says it's internet radio and like radio you dont get to pick exactly what you want but, you do pick an artist, style, genre and so on and it then picks songs related to that entry. if you register (free) you can then save your 'station'. yes, when you pick your first item you are creating a virtual 'station'. it's that station that you are saving and which keeps track of your interests.

it's an innovative idea in music. i'm not quite sure how they make money but they must be cause they've been around for a few years now. anyways, even if you dont register you can still try it out any time you want.

have fun

Actually I'm a trombonist that's where I get my nick from (Bone-appetit) and I became a member of RPro because I'm a Ps junkie. Of shadows and highlights I know the same as I know of architecture.... (nothing). I like any kind of music as long as is good. Bach is one of my classical favorites. My favorite is jazz, old and new. On the rock side I prefer the old school progressive bands, like: Gentle Giant, ELP, Kansas, Yes, Chicago, Jethro Tull, to name a few. More recently music from: Sting, Phill Collins and David Palmer again to name a few, is very nice.

Florin, I like the cello also, I believe it is also in bass clef like the trombone, but that nostalgic sound is so hunting, a great instrument, and you got yourself a great resume, keep it up.

Kraellin, thanx for posting this. So cool.

Thought i would join in this discussion
I rarely listen to music when on the pc i find it distracting,

I like all genre's except for jazz

but when doing the housework ( i do occasionally do some ) then i like it loud

my fav group of the moment is "The Killers" but i also like Kings of Leon and Elbow

when chilling out you cant beat some good soul music

then if i want too waste a hour or two then going through you tube for the all the old 70's/80's stuff

what i dont like is all the old artists doing the concert tour thing at ridiculously high ticket prices and they just dont have the voice for it anymore ( or the stamina) then you just know you are putting into their pension fund

Kraellin, thanx for posting this. So cool.

you're welcome

palms, make up some playlists of your choice on youtube and then just call one up when working on a smudge or other piece and set it on 'play all' and let it run. very relaxing

I enjoy to listen to Justin Aftab, a very young composer.
