Limit to music

Name: Anonymous 2010-09-04 4:39

A friend said to me is there a limit to the amount of music that can be made? Well fundamentally it depends on what he means by music because you could change one note and it'd be different. So lets concentrate on melodies. Is there a finite number of melodies?

You're stupid.

Tempo is only speed of the song. Since time has no finite end, or at least, it will continue past our lives, it's effectively infinite. With this, tempo is infinite as far as we are concerned. A tempo can be as slow as 1 beat per hour, or as a fast as 300 beats a second, or further on either end of that spectrum.

Time signatures are dependent on the length of the measure. If the measure continues longer than we live, then the amount of time signatures is endless.

Tones are only the frequency of a sound. Considering that there is an infinite amount of frequencies that are producible, though not an infinite number that are perceptible, there is an infinite amount of tones.

Considering that song structure is partially reliant on length of the song, there is a limitless amount of song structures.

While the instrumentation statement is false, pretty frequently new instruments are made. Look at musical tesla coils. People invent instruments just to see if they can do it. I'm sure one day people will devise rhythms that cause typing on a typical computer keyboard to be musical.

Oh, and by the way, any one of these 'infinite' qualities makes the amount of producible music infinite.

You need to stop using faggot quotes.
