I believe that the majority of IDM is 'discovered' not written. I used
to play guitar in bands... back then I wrote music, now I create music -
the recorded piece is the results of my exploration.
Many electronic artists use the medium as the inspiration - whereas a
cheesy lite rock song will be inspired by some lost love... :)
So... the names are secondary and if their aren't vocal samples in the
piece (which often dictate titles), then the artist simply pulls the
title out of the air or their surroundings... shich is a lot of
acronyms, computer terminology, letters, numbers, etc.
Another reason, is that many of them crank out a lot of tracks and they
don't always connect with a piece on a title level - the begin a piece
not knowing what it will be about, name it any ole name while they are
building it - then when it is done, they are already thinking about new
tracks - so that last one is put asside... and onto another musical
abstraction!
