Title: Do you like cerealist music?
Post by: Tapkaara on July 23, 2009, 10:46:31 AM
I love cerealism. Anyone else a fan of Sonny, that strange bird/human thing that composed the massive (yet exquisite) Coco Puffs Symphony? It's a favorite of mine!

It must be 30 years since I thought of this . . . but we had a schoolmate whose family name was Crisp, and inevitably, her nickname became Crispy Critters.

Cerealism is much maligned and greatly misunderstood. There are those who say that a cereal work consists of 12 cereals arranged in a line at random, but this is not so. It only looks like that.

The first thing to appreciate is that no one cereal is considered more 'significant' than another. There is, so to speak, no 'home' cereal. Traditional cerealata form is abandoned, and the cereals are laid out in recurring patterns or sequences which are varied in certain ways to achieve an overall unity.

Much criticism has been levelled at cereal composers because, it is argued, they compose merely for each other's breakfasts, and not for breakfast-eaters in general.

Kapt. Krenek was the first cerealist not to go soggy in milk!

Full integral cerealism can make breakfast a challenge however.

Preserving the integrity of row operations among the Lucky Charms (i.e. ASCDHMO - A=base, non-marshmallow S = Star C =Clover, D = Diamond, H = Heart, M= moon O = horseshoe) while simultaneously integrating row operations with your respective sets of the same cardinality of eating utensils, beverages, newspaper sections and OBBPs* becomes quite difficult.  The benefit however, is with a total Breakfast space of 3.25 x 1018 permutations it would take longer than the age of the universe to exhaust all the possibilities.

This is why the famous Scottish composer Corny McOatflake, who is intent on including all the possibilities in one great work, is issuing the work not as a whole but in separate consecutive parts, issued once a week. He explained his decision in a recent interview: "Aye, y'see laddie, it's a cereal," he said.

   Tragic news. The other day both Ca'n Crunch and Tony the Tiger were found shot to death. Police believe this to be the work of the
cereal killer.

Like this you need to change the flash instead of

[flash=423,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKgBdrsqvjs[/flash]

It needs to be

[flash=423,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/kKgBdrsqvjs[/flash]

Keep careful note of the watch?v=xxx is changed to watch/v/xxx.
