I've been digging classical music recently. Much better than modern music by a long shot.

well it's not like nothing good's been written lately, lots of awesome developments in modern classical ... i think by "modern music" you must mean, like, rock'n'roll
Once I learned the Lindy Effect I realized my time I realized my time would be better spent looking to the greats from the past for inspiration and education.
What's the Lindy effect?
Lindy Effect was referenced in Taleb's works "Antifragile" and "The Black Swan". Observation by actors in NYC that if a show has been successful for 1 or 2 years already, it will probably survive for another 1-2 years. Read / Watch / Enjoy the Classics!
Anything post-1950s I would say
Yeah it's more generally applicable though. It's basically the longer an idea or tech has been around the more likely it is to have a longer life expectancy into the future.
well what do you think of Steve Reich though for instance? or John Cage?
I know not of whomst you speak.
oh well you should check them out, important composers of the modern age
i've been learning the past couple of weeks about "Spectralism" or "Spectral music", i don't understand it yet but it's amazing giant complex tapestries with lots of feeling and flow
Will do. I recommend you check out:
1. Chopin
2. Debussy
3. Bach
Being honest, these names make me think of alcohol...
Lol. Yeah Chopin is also a brand of vodka. But also a brilliant composer.
I might be drinking right now 🤫
Check out arvo pärt. Fratres and spiegel im spiegel especially.
seconded! arvo part is fantastic, very deep emotions
chopin's good too, i dig chopin, kinda funny as a recommendation though lol i'm not from mars XD
Chopin is like noodles. You can eat/listen it everyday without it becoming irretating.
