To compose a melody is easy, to compose a good melody is hard, to compose a good melody that people would pay for... well, thats for few people =)

Can we just stop. This thread has been taken over by a rather pointless discussion.

Well...i must say i highly disagree with you. Compose is much more than just "imagine a melody" and that's the end of the story. Mozart was able to just "imagine" a work of art and then writing what he saw in his head, but he is one of very few... since we all know he was a genius. (he learned to play the harpsichord when he was three) Few people can do that, and to be able to compose and make something with harmony you actually need a lot of study. I think that your paragraph is very disrespectful to all people who has spent several years in conservatories trying to understand music, and concepts like harmony, rythm, tempo and even silence. Guys like Sergei Rachmaninov, Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov and Sergei Prokofiev (yes... i love russian composers ) had previous studies in music schools before they became famous composers. Even pop composers like Lady gaga had music studies, and as Jimex said, if compose was such an easy task artists wouldn't hire people to compose for them. And about Ayu... well, she is able to compose, wether if we like her compositions or not. Ergo, she is a musician, even if she doesn't play any instrument. You may like or not what she has done, but that doesn't change the fact that she can be considered a musician. May be not a "serious" one because she did not had music studies or because that's not exactly what she does for a living, but she is a musician because she is able to compose (sorry if i'm being too repetitive hehehe... i'm afraid i'm creating a cacophony )

It is pointless when it only partially relates to this thread. Make a thread of your own if you wish to continue IMO. This has little to do with the initial point of this thread, a video of Hikki commenting on Ayu/any kind of ideas of a collabration. Sure it may not be a completly pointless discussion but within this thread, its unrelated and off topic.

I respect all of your opinion; I may have understated Ayu's ability, but while there are good examples of her good pieces, there are rather other stale melodies that she composed. I won't state which ones they are because everyone has different tastes and opinions of their favourite melodies.
I'm just stating that while the "official" definition may categorize her as a "musician", I don't recognize her as one. Lady_Eowyn, please don't take my paragraph as an insult as I also study music and counterpoint. I just don't believe Ayu has studied music as in depth as those musicians that you stated, so which is why I hold such an opinion. She may just be a gifted composer... for some of her hit songs.

wow... Utada×Ayumi... That'd be interesting. But I'd listen to it. and buy it. and probably obsess over it... But that'd be really cool! I mean, they're, like, so different! it'd be really interesting to see what a collaboration between them would sound like.
omg, rock the boat. now THAT'd be funny! I have brawler-game-like images of that hostess fighting through waves of bodygaurds to get to the final boss: AYU!!! DUN DUN DUN!!! *drops head* I know, I fail.

to end this noobish discussion about musicians, a musician IS:
A musician is a person who plays or writes music. Musicians can be classified by their roles in creating or performing music: An instrumentalist plays a musical instrument. A singer (or vocalist) uses his or her voice as an instrument. Composers, songwriters and arrangers create musical compositions, songs and arrangements. These may be transcribed in music notation, performed or recorded. A conductor leads a musical ensemble. A conductor can simultaneously act as an instrumentalist in the ensemble. A recording artist creates recorded music, such as CDs and MP3 files. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- now, THE important part, to make sure some of you understand the whole musician concept, there are a lot of types of musicians. i can see some of you are linking musicians ONLY to be persons who play instruments, YOU'RE WRONG!!! Types of musicians Leaders Conductor ˇ Bandleader ˇ Concertmaster Composers Composer ˇ Songwriter ˇ Arranger ˇ Orchestrator Instrumentalists Bassist or Double bassist ˇ Bassoonist ˇ Bandurist (Bandura player) ˇ Bouzouki player ˇ Cellist ˇ Clarinetist ˇ Drummer ˇ Euphoniumist ˇ Electronic musician ˇ Flautist ˇ Guitarist (Electric, Acoustic) ˇ Harpist ˇ Hornist (Horn player) ˇ Keyboardist (Keyboard player) ˇ Oboist ˇ Organist ˇ Pianist ˇ Percussionist ˇ Recorder player ˇ Saxophonist ˇ Sawist (musical saw player) ˇ Sitarist ˇ Trombonist ˇ Trumpeter (also Trumpet player) ˇ Tubist (Tuba player) ˇ Turntablist (DJ) ˇ Uillean piper ˇ Violinist ˇ Violist (Viola player) Vocalists Singer ˇ Rapper ˇ Screamer THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ^.^

I always thought this was cute. It's funny though when you realize that the rivalry isn't between Utadasaki but between their fans who over dramatize everything. That crowd was hilarious. And Utada is humble. Stating that you're big over in Japan during an interview where you're promoting yourself and being asked questions is not an ego thing. It's the answering of questions factually. Go watch an interview of Kanye West's to get an accurate definition of someone who needs to start choking on some Humble Pie pronto. And I mean "Jam it down your throat. You can't vocord no more" choke.

I hope nobody minds if i give my 2 cents worth. According to the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (ABRSM), they conduct examinations for a HUGE variety of instruments, including modern percussion and voice. There's even harp lol and musical theory... So technical definitions aside, i would assume anyone who goes in depth into an instrument or musical theory can be considered a musician. And ayu has made a career out of it furthermore with her voice.
Maybe you can say Hikaru is more skilled a musician because she has more muscial knowledge and education but that's about it i suppose. What gets me about that video is how the interviewer had next to zero knowledge about the J-pop music scene... But i feel it's a good move on Hikaru's part to try to break into the Western market. It's making good use of her multi-lingual abilities. |
