Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
Good title.
Some interesting uses of start/stops in pop music:
"Don't Let's Start," They Might Be Giants
"U Can't Touch This," MC Hammer
"Improper Dancing," Electric Six
"I Gotta Feeling," Black Eyed Peas
"Short Skirt, Long Jacket," Cake
"River of Dreams," Billy Joel
What others?

Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
This may be a dumb question, but we can sing during a stop, right?
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
Well sure. What if you're stopping one thing but not another? It's a cool challenge, but debating how our songs fit the bill is going to be awesome.

Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
I was just planning to make a lot of sudden loud noises in an attempt to "startle" and then use a bunch of different organ stops. I may also play some double stops on the violin. And dictate a paragraph to Siri, English-stye (full stop) I may also include a round.

Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
I don't want to overdo the challenge. We'll probably just have one start at the beginning and one stop at the end.

Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
Let's take the CAKE song you cited above. There's only one real full stop in that song, and half of it is John McCrea saying "jacket". The rest of the stops actually have guitar noodling filling the space. So... if we're saying all CAKE-style stops are good, then I'm golden, but I just need to know.Generic wrote:A stop that isn't really a stop? That is creative.

If you swap those, I think that would qualify as "creative".Alvis wrote:I don't want to overdo the challenge. We'll probably just have one start at the beginning and one stop at the end.

You could just stop at 0:01. And not start again.frankie big face wrote:I was just planning to make a lot of sudden loud noises in an attempt to "startle" and then use a bunch of different organ stops.

It would get my vote.

Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
It's a stupid question, but I can't find any definitions on Google. Take for example this link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 148AAIxyby
So, yeah, if it's not a legitimate musical term that can be found on Wikipedia, I'm going to have to make up my own meaning.

Re: Nur Ein VII- Round 2
I tend to be sort of literal, which combined with creative opens up a huge array of possibilities.
On the other hand, some people might think "I started using words with 'P', then stopped using words with 'p', then started again." Or "I started awesome, then stopped being awesome, then started again." Still others will explain how "start" and "stop" have ancient meanings to the indigenous peoples of the motherland, which we know through the study of their mummified bone marrow." ...these would not be recommended interpretations of the challenge.
