I think part of the reason why restraint is so valuable is because of the band context. If you listen to a solo guitar piece or piano piece that you like, it might be really complicated, with a million things going on. If you listen to a guitar or piano accompaniment track from a song you like, you might hear simple triads or intervals, played sparsely or with a simple rhythm.
- Pannoniae 3y agoI find it funny how minimalism is considered a virtue in a band setting. All those New Orleans bands can manage perfectly with everyone just blasting whatever into the air..... :)
- Jeff_Brown 3y agoThat is a wonderful effect. However, while I've never been in such a band, I suspect "whatever" wouldn't cut it.
- jancsika 3y agoAny player could start trolling the others at any time: clarinetist-- play loud, continuous lyrical lines that noodle around whatever register the trumpet happens to be playing in trumpet-- play continuous arpeggios trombone-- play ska-style double-timing off-beats tuba-- no roots of chords allowed. Bonus for playing continuous dotted quarters :) Any combination of any of the above trolling will sound bad.
