Pop music is old and boring. (I like classical at the current time not a pop lover)
The latest hits are from the New London Royal Orchestra.
Listen to them on your WinPod. Download it onto your Macrohard Macdows operating system.
Gate Bills owns Winpear. Jobs Steve owns Macrohard.
Freelancer is a MMNRPG (Massive Multiplayer Neuralnet Role Playing Game) game where you play a human in 21st century Earth, with PvP system and lots of RP.
No-one will ever erase Mozart, Vivaldi, Bethoven and such. There are forever to stay in music history for a reason.
And if our music has any impact in futuristic times. Maybe.. some sort of Johnny Cash, Presley maybe. Others are most likely forgotten without a trace.
When taking the timespan between today and the time when the War of Sol took place into consideration, technology would have definitely advanced to a point where there would have been a capability of storing petabytes of data into a device as small as microchip, or something along those scales.
Of course, as Sirius lived on, many musicians and different gentes have appeared, but many people listen to music produced before the exodus.
One of my character is a 20-21st century death metal fan, the other's a celtic music fan, for instance
I think you have to take what Sov has said, about the fact that information is so easy to have, so cheap to preserve and to copy, and what Joe has said, about how the best survives and the worst falls into obscurity together to get a picture of the information horizon we're moving into.
The future is an age, as today is increasingly an age, where anything we say, write, sing, or preform is recorded, and what is recorded is very, very easy to find. Welcome to the internet. This simple fact bleeds into a lot of other facets of life, but here it means that while everyone would likely have nearly free access to everything that's been recorded in most of history (wouldn't things lose their copyright after a century?).
The music would exist...in volumes after volumes. The likelyhood that any specific song is popular enough to be played will approach zero, and current songs will likely have a better chance of airtime. The chance that the music of the last two decades be recognizable is similar to the chance that anyone recognize an average track from ten years ago. Someone will...but most people will not remember it.
Additionally, we tend to have a biass towards music of our era, because we know of nothing else to write about, so it is already overrepresented.
Meh.. who knows.. Maybe music isn't what it used to be, maybe you just don't hear it now.. Maybe you can see it?
Its nice to think of some holographic light/music show in FL as some kind of new genre.. mixed arts and so. Could be nice.
Edit: 'Our' music is still present in FL but probably no one ever listen to it.. teachers say something about it in schools. Musicians learn more but.. well never saw anyone RPing an musician, teacher or something else so he would have extended knowledge about music or any art.. lets say all these pirates, traders, military pilots don't have time for music but few individuals did heard some old songs and they 'sing' from time to time..
' Wrote:Most contemporary music since the 20st Century is trash compared to classical if you want to evaluate them from a professional musical standpoint. I also doubt the sleeper ships would be loaded with much entertainment anyway since their primary concern was getting the people to a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
But it might be considered classical in Disco'verse, who knows.
but they could have a database, I mean today we can fit 32GB into a little flash drive. The freelancer exodus is at least 200 years in the future.
