Or anything by Animal Collective.

[QUOTE="m0zart"]

54 32nd notes per bar? Is that actually intended to be played by anyone or anything? No human could play those notes. A machine could I guess, but if it did, no human could hear the sound of it due to the pitch requirements.

The other piece I found by him was this one:

http://img262.imageshack.us/f/waltz19pq.jpg/

There were 65536th notes, 32768th notes, 16384th notes... actually, there were a range of 1/(2^(0..16)) notes.Given that the progression being pictured would require a pitch of almost 15000 Hz, which is far beyond the range that the human ear can hear, I have a hard time believing it can actually be called music and not a visual art piece (or ... parody).

Symphonycometh

Bingo. :P

So what's that piece even used for? Ego-stroking? :?

It's used for looking at it and laughing because it is funny.

"Technical Death Metal", the name itself implies its complexity :P

[QUOTE="dracula_16"]

EDIT: Indeed, he would. Immortal's vocalist used to sound a lot like Popeye, so I bet Popeye would be great at black metal.

Bluestorm-Kalas

I hate you for saying that, because he totally does. Now everytime I listen to some of Immortal's older albums I won't think of anything but that. Dammit.

Hmm... I had never thought of this but it's true. :lol:

If Diablo Swing Orchestra is around the same level as Mirrorthrone, I can safely say that classical music trumps them in terms of complexity. And I looooooove Diablos Swing Orchestra.

I would say Dubstep It has that transformer doing a crap style sound effect in some songs (too crazy for me) then theres chilled dubstep then theres budstep I don't even think its confined to any genre, dubstep can overlap with everything and anything bassline in my nostrils makes me ****

[QUOTE="Sandvichman"][QUOTE="BIG-BOSSMAN"]Instrumental wise, classical, no competition. Lyrically, Hip Hop.

BAHAHAHAHHA. ' Seriously?

most rap songs have at least 50 bars (100 lines) of lyrics and some have up to 500 bars (1,000 lines). Many rappers use this time to talk a bunch of bs, but some don't. Lyrically the most complex songs you will find are indeed rap. some are so complex you probably will not even understand one sentance there saying because it is just non stop metaphor after metaphor mixed with street slang. even if you do understand the metaphors in the bar, alot of times they have double meanings made to only be understood by certain people they affiliate with along with one for the masses. "The story told by me precisely defines me as divine G/ Roman numeral IV plus 3 describes me/ My son, move like the toad, analyze all thoughts, speak in codes/ Throw a fiend in a sleeper hold than siphon the dough/" Thats from a real rap song and is very complex. 90% of people have no idea what hes talking about but people who have lived the life hes talking about understand every word. Its all codes an metaphors.

pop, its the highest grossing and most difficult genre to break into.

feel free to think your music is complex, but being able to make a pop beat is easily the most difficult task and highest paying for musicians.

No, not really. The beat is just easier to notice because they are not sophisicated. This is more complexed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHESjItTd-Q&feature=related

Something tells me I'd be able to produce a quality "pop beat" quicker than I'll be able to master my own territory of composition.

This song is sick. Not sure what's more incredible: the talent put behind this song, or the fact the lyrics aren't screaming offensive content.

If you could create catchy hooks for the next justin bieber album... you should go for it... im sure there is a record exec willing to pay you multiple millions of dollars to do so. Go collect that paycheck!

Aphex Twin.

THE_DRUGGIE
This. Aphex twin, for sure. Though Aphex Twin isn't a genre, I'll say trance. Most techno seems to be the simple dun,ss,dun,ss,dun,ss,dun,ss, beat, but most trance, like Aphex Twin and Infected Mushroom is extremely complicated and amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1dqQtBw-fo

^^^ This song is by Aphex Twin. He played with the audio spectrum in a way that when you watch it as the song is playing, it actually draws pictures. At the end, 5:30 , he actually found a way to get HIS FACE into the audio spectrum.

That is amazing. Because normally to do that, it would just be random noises and tones to make a decent looking picture. But he managed to do it while keeping the song sounding good.

Here is a quick snapshot:
