That said, the only genres I can usually name are not quite so popular anymore, and I tend not to deal with them. I think whenever I try an original piece I just end up tinkering with things. Very random stuff.Cool stuff. My fiance is interested in the full gambit from modes of ancient Greece through medieval European, pop, rock, and even modern music. (I personally find modern pretty dubious lol, I don't see how you can see music in a contraption that takes your own urine and drips it variously onto your own chest. Or setting a piano on fire and calling it a composition. Very admirable, but honestly I think there have to be SOME boundaries. O_X)
Maybe you'd enjoy doing Music at university. The School of Music at my university is a real out-there sort group, modern-day divas with amazing voices etc. It's great to see budding musicians and the sorts of pieces they can come up with - adds a fresh taste to the "newness" that everyone seems to be trying to come up with.
