will we ever discover new sounds or genres or have we heard everything the current state of the universe has given already?

Don't be stupid user we'll find far more genres. I've posted this in here a couple times, but I reckon mars and Earth will have diverging music scenes because communication between them won't be very quick so access to new music would be more limited, especially in the early years
Julian Rodriguez
I have tons of ideas for music that doesn't exist in my head that I can't make because of limited skill.
Ryan Richardson
music is infinite
William Garcia
New genres will continue being born, even if it's super niche bandcamp stuff. Whether we'll get an entirely new tradition as with introduction of the synthesizer is hard to tell, but I'd say yes.

WHY DO YOU CONTINUOUSLY MOCK MY EXISTENCE LIKE SAILS MOCK THE WINDS!
I'm not even gonna do it. Here, read the thread.
Wyatt Nelson
Is you forcing this meme ironic or post-ironic or what? I can't tell

>but I reckon mars and Earth will have diverging music scenes
hey /r/futurology. why the fuck would humans want to live on mars? real life isn't like The Expanse.
Justin Evans
I dunno people seem like they want to

Do you by chance know someone by the name of Patrick?
Landon Gray
its amazing aint it
Aaron Cook
Because they can.
Jacob Harris
No. We have the power to manipulate waveforms directly, meaning that we can make music using all sorts of unheard-of timbres.
Nathaniel Diaz
?
Nathaniel Evans
That made me excited
Jonathan Wilson
there will probably be something in the 2030s if you can stay alive that long
Wyatt Hill
how do we make these waveforms user
Matthew Green
Analog and digital synthesisers user
Robert Mitchell
why havent these unhead of sounds been made yet though? synths have been around for ages user
Aaron Miller
hand drawing/manipulating waveforms is very difficult on a practical level and it's hard to do it without making difficult sounding noises (see Nick Forte - Primordial Forms if you're curious). You can do it in Audacity if you're curious, but I think there's a lot of stuff that we still won't be able to do there without greater technical assistance

This guy constructed a waveform that has its overtone at an octave + 1 semitone, meaning that the octave interval (the first interval) sounds dissonant but octave + 1 semitone sounds consonant (the second interval). Granted, the actual timbre sounds ugly as hell but i'm sure it can be modified into something more pleasant.
The same guy constructed something called a hyperpiano which has 12TET wherein each octave is 2400 cents rather than 1200.

NOW we train ai to make these waveform for us
Carter Reyes
oh and here's what it actually sounds like

That sounds horrifying.
Juan Brown
It's like if an out of tune harp, guitar, and piano had an orgy. I think it's gorgeous in its own semi-unsettling way
