That vast majority of graphic artists I know (and I know quite a few, being
one myself) have latched onto electronic music in a big way. In fact,
that's one very big reason why some much IDM is making it into commercials:
the graphics person shows up to the editing sessions toting Chemical Bros,
and suddenly all the other music everybody else had considered is left in
the dust (no pun intended.)
I think it's because we spend our professional lives using exactly the same
thought processes used in IDM: cut, paste, appropriate, rearrange, find a
way to say something new using old pieces, find the soul in the machine. So
when we find this in a musical medium, we're already in familiar territory.
