Hi Everyone =) I'm learning English, but i need to practice. I would love to exchange language practising, because i really need a lot of it. I'm able to help you with Spanish in everything i can =) I would like to meet people and maybe make some friends, i love other countries and other languages, like Italian, French, Greek..etc. I want to study musical composition for classical instrument (at the moment) and my favorites composers are Debussy and Maurice Ravel. I like electronic music too :)

    Discussion about "true art and music" :D

    ( Some context , optional reading ) Discussion about 4:33 from Jhon Cage (a musical piece when the orchestra and pianist makes no sound the entire presentation)

    Person 1 said :

    ARRANGED sound is music. INTENDED sound is music. CONCEIVED sound is music. DESIGNED sound is music.

    UNINTENDED and UNCONTROLLED background noise over a COMPOSED SILENCE is NOT music. I already stated this twice at length in this thread. If you cannot understand the nuance between design and randomness, then I get why you don't understand the nuance between sound and music. However, my point still stands: if all sound was music, then there wouldn't be a need for both words "sound" and "music". THis is basic philology.

    Now If you all could be so kind as to respect some people's desire to use nuance in order for two words to keep a reason to exist, that would be delightful.

    To sum it up: the only way this piece is music is if you have a definition of music that makes it no different from sound whatsoever, and therefore, it is completely pointless to pay a ticket to go see an orchestra play it, when the street does it for free 24/7.

    Person 2 answer:
    With that logic, then I guess the word "obliterate" is completely useless, since it means the same thing as "destroy."
    Or maybe "corrupt" versus "tainted."
    Or even "stupid" versus "idiotic."
    Or "purple" versus "violet."
    Or even "car" versus "automobile."
    These examples can go on for as long as the English language exists. If you don't like it, then stop using synonyms, or stop speaking English altogether.
    Another thing you should stop doing: Overusing "nuance." That'd be nice. Delightful. Pleasurable. Good. Lovely.
    Yet more words that are useless because they coexist in one language, wouldn't you say?

    -------------- My Response --------------:


    Humm...mostly of us could agree (maybe) about that eolic harp tree at the hills is making music, but... no one is controlling that machinery, just manipulated when builded it.
    It's intended to be there, making a lot of endlessly sounds. Maybe people cough are intended to be there, even they're random.

    I think that the word "music" and "art" could be in expansion :) maybe that's what make us confuse



    Thanks for anyone who has read this large text, I'm sorry :( =)

    Doubts Hi ! 1- Shoud I say "doubts"? I have a doubt? 2.- This is a text that i'm using to study: Past Continuous: Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time. Here's my question: could I express (with Past Continuous) an interrumped long action, And, an interrumped short action too? I was jumping across the (???) when the ball kicked my head We were conquering every corner of Looland for 10 years, then, an atomic bomb explodes near of us. We were conquering every corner of Looland for 2 months, then, a bomb explodes in our ship ---- These examples may not be the most serious but..haha no se me ocurrió otra cosa (I don't know how to say that in English) Thanks!!

    Is this information true? " In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so on. " Thank you :)Found in a text .Present Continuous USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second. Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while eating dinner in a restaurant.) I am studying to become a doctor. I am not studying to become a dentist. I am reading the book Tom Sawyer. I am not reading any books right now. Are you working on any special projects at work? Aren't you teaching at the university now? ---------------- - Maybe in that context is correct?, but i'm a little bit confused when i read "century" Maybe If I say : In this century, as human beings, we're becoming more "..."
