Is this really musically possible?

Post by coxnvox » Fri May 11, 2007 4:59 am

A current Dispatch listing says this:she wants “flowing, moving” tracks that are positive & uplifting and have numerous tempo/rhythmic//dynamic changesCan anyone think of one good example of a song that has "numerous tempo/rhythmic//dynamic changes" and that could still be described as "flowing"? They asking for something that changes speeds, changes the underlying pulse, assumedly, and changes dynamics but that still flows...hmmm.This seems to me to be akin to asking C3PO to win that silly ribbon event in the Olympics..."Dammit, 3PO! You have to be more fluid!"

@cox:I think that is a description of the mood that a music supervisor (or similar) gave to taxi.I don't think you should take it absolutly literal - it gives an idea of what kind of tracks she is looking for. the supervisor might not be a musician him/herselve, and so the description can be easely missunderstood by musician who read it literal.I'd say I know for what she's looking (what mood).cheers,martin
