How much further can electronic music be explored? are we beginning to feel the claustrophobic nature of the technological limitations, or is there infinite breath to express ourselves in them? in places other than headphones and club spaces? Can this music take on higher application to other groups of people outside of ourselves, like the blind for example, and serve as alterior sets of eyes? Where do you view the current point of the music's evolution on the timeline within the genre? Does the music seem to be boiling down more and more to essentially the same format, same sounds, same spectrum of experience? Are we ready for new technology to enable further revolution here? ... What would be your dream piece of gear, your optimal interface for making music? .... the wind, the seismicity of earthquakes? Where do we hear the limitations in this music, and where still do we see room for further exploration? Are we hearing aggregations of sanitized sound, merely the extent to which music can be represented and manipulated through code, have we begun to exhaust the idea of sampling, how inevitable is the avant garde doomed for the commercial here? i dont know....just wanted to start babbling, i have amuzzle and will put it on now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
