One of the aspects of electronic music that intrigues me so much, is artists like Autechre who approach their music with the intent to create electronic sounds, not music that could be reproduced by accoustic instruments. Certainly artists like Kraftwerk have been trying for decades to make machine music more acceptable in traditional spheres. But it bothers me that some people still think in terms of accoustic as real, and digital as something synthetic.... making it less than real. It's like blowing through a pipe is less real than turning a knob. But enough with Freud already! onnow: Noise Unit "Drill" (off beat!)
