i can see where you're coming from... i just want more organic
instrumental integration with idm. it's not like i listen to tons
of idm all the time... it's there in a lot of the music i do listen
to. bits and pieces.
and i agree... you can control a lot... but you can also automate
all that... that's what i do... i could sit there and muck about
with all the filter sweeps and volume/pan automation and all
that but it's more fun with the knobs. there's a more human
element to panning something with yer fingers than automated.
of course there's still automation because i also like precisionperfect
automation of sounds...
i'm sorta in the middle... i love what technology does for me... but
i also am an old school guitar player who values a musician's
lifeforce coming thru in the performance. that's why i've integrated
both things in my live performances. i prefer having both.
though i go see dj stuff more than bands... because rock bands don't
have the cosmic power that bands like led zeppelin had...
but when you heard hard wicked drum and bass blasting at you...that
same sort of anarchic music blasting feeling comes thru again.
all my musical inclinations coexist constantly so it's hard for me to
pin down any extreme opinion on this sorta thing. but it's fun to
try and get at the reasons and ideas...
