On Musical Roads

At the link you can read about the musical road in Hungary. If you play the video you can hear it as the car drives over the musical road. Apparently it only plays when the car is moving at the correct speed. I can see a couple problems with this.

Firstly, what if the musical road is set to play some mind crushing ear worm like Baby Shark? Hopefully the parent driver recognizes this travesty before their child does and deliberately speeds on this road in order to have the song not play.

Secondly, what happens if the radio is already on in the car? There will end up being two competing songs to listen to. That’s never good, especially if the songs are in a different key and have a different beat. This cacophony will also encourage the driver to speed in order to avoid this.

Thirdly, what if there is an intersection on the road in the middle of the song? You could put the music on the major road so there would likely be no slowing down to complicate the song but what if I want to take that secondary road? Slowing down to take that secondary road will stop you from hearing part of the song. Likely this lesser road will have no song on it and I am left hearing an incomplete song.

I don’t know about other people but often, when I hear an incomplete song, the back of my mind starts to play it in my head. With no ending, so it just goes on and on for the rest of the day. This is as bad or even worse than an ear worm.

Fourthly, How does the copyright of the song get calculated? The speeding cars don’t hear the song. The slow drivers don’t hear the song. Turning cars only hear a partial song. It sounds like cameras with radar guns will have to be put up to decide copyright royalties. What a total pain.

"Wonderful Christmastime", by Paul McCartney, who was in Wings and some other pop band before that, is the worst Christmas song. But it's not just that. It is the worst purported song of any genre, ever.

MARTY FRIEDMAN Has Nothing Against 'Flashy' Guitar Playing: 'I Just Wanna Be Excited By What I Hear'

In a new interview with Bradley Hall, Marty Friedman explained why he isn't too keen on listening to guitarists who play fast just for the sake of it. The former MEGADETH guitarist said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I'm not at all against anything flashy in the slightest. I just wanna be e...

my barbarian kenku, Cacophony!
hulking and intimidating, he's a bird of few words, tending to prefer direct action over talking it out. talking is a bit overrated for kenku... in their language, tiny gestures and vocalizations convey just as much, if not more, than words do.
it goes without saying he's the stud of his flock. I love my big buff bird man

Hi!

Just found your profile and I'm curious about your music

As you said you would like to interact with other musicians, you can check out my stuff, too

I do a kind of audio collages using elements from various #Metal subgenres along with electronic, #ambient and #DungeonSynth based stuff, sometimes it's just #noise, #cacophony and chaos such as #HarshNoiseWall aka #Krachkern

My profile for that is @azugm (I also post songs here sometimes)

azugm is also on #Bandcamp
