not only reasonable but inevitable. as more of us start to become interested
in petting zoos sooner or later someone will desire an
evil petting zoo. for me tho this is what interested me in "IDM" before
i ever knew what it was called; the potential for just about anything
to occur in music. it incorporates any style or genre imaginable
thru means of sampling or interpolating and it seems to be striving for
something unheard and new. now of course this is also a source of much
disdain as in its woven in the fabric of itsd push to reinvent music there
is a thread of elitism running thru its multifaceted tapestry.
but i fear this is probably the case with any attempts at creating something
new. however i hope that this is also intrinzicly balanced
with a healthy respect for all the other artforms it is being built apon.
classification is really just to make things easier to convey so even tho i
might think a genre name is completely absurd if it identifies its subject
accuratley enough for me to describe it then i suppose its a lesser evil
petting zoo.
for instance_ rock music. sounds silly. rocks? making music?
or alternative music. alternative to what? all other music? then isnt all
music alternative?
or country music. this implies it was made in a country.
almost all music on earth is made in some country or other so i guess if it
is then its country music.
and i know for sure that i have made some pretty stupid intelligent
dance music that i couldnt even dance to and that some would not even call
music.
but by saying any of these names i am sharing an idea which u can probably
relate too if u know the context in which the idea is being presented.
what am i doing here?
