    taste - a matter of what?

    it's my question day:

    who depends on taste? - did you say taste like everyone does?? you savour it and enjoy to be tasty?
    what is it you wanna express with that everfitting cloudy word?
    do you have (an)other term(s)? do you??

    why does it matter to have taste?? also, what does it mean to have no taste?
    what is its point in perception, realisation or creation of music (or generally in arts)?

    if the whole game with esthetic position is just one of taste - you should put questions to your consciouness instead of walking with the crowds, because you got into difficulties evaluating with diffuse measurement. - diffuse, i said
    . . . .
    your turn!

  • i like music that smells, touches, sees and hears even more than the tasty stuff... tasty is very good too tho and i wouldn't want to lose it!

    your turn...

    that's a lot of questions, and some big questions!

    my favorite use of the word taste in relation to music is as an adjective applied to certain music as being "tasty".

    beyond that there will probably be disagreements as to what "taste" is, or especially as to what "good" taste is.

    sometimes "taste" is used in a neutral sense, we can have different tastes in music without necessarily saying one person's taste is better than another's. its just different personal preferences.

    other times "taste" is used judgmentally, as in saying someone has bad taste, or no taste. But such judgements are surely always relative to some criteria of comparison.

    is there an ultimate objective criterion against which to measure "taste"? I don't see how there could be.

  • I find that cooking (at least the way I do it) is quite similar to composition (at least the way I go about it).

  • my tastes alter through experience. i feel more engaged with the world when my aesthetic judgements are in flux. my tastes only serve to disappoint , what with their inevitable predictability. i prefer to explore with my senses rather than my tastes, but taste can help construct a framework in which to explore.
