>>121939954This is just the music students' conundrum. All that knowledge without the good sense to know when to use what. I went to college 13 years ago and composition students were writing pieces that required masters-level understanding of theory, rhythm, and harmony, requiring virtuoso skills to perform, but were completely unlistenable and unremarkable.
I noticed the same thing with Adam Neely fans years back. They can explain why you can play f double sharp superhalf myxo-loc-rygian over cmaj7 but they can't write a melody you remember more than 5 seconds after they play it.
Don't even get me started on the fucking 7:11 polyrhythm
