hi all..
i've been on this list for a couple months, and there hasn't
been much besides idle banter so far, maybe it's just been
late or whatever...
the microsound list has a lot of interesting discussion going
on so maybe i can get something started here...
i'm curious what my fellow artists are up to, creatively... i'm
not trying to steal ideas b/c most of everything has already
been done to an extent and now music (it seems to me, i
could be wrong) is more about mixing elements in a new way
or putting your own twist on things...
a lot of my own work, especially my ambient stuff, is very sub-
concious.. in that i'm not paying a whole lot of attention to what
i'm doing or i don't have much of an idea of what i want when i
sit down to make noise.. it just sort of happens on its own...
recently though.. i've felt a need to have some sort of concept
or at least a method to my madness...
so, i've just spent the last several hours browsing though the
rephlex, warp, and planet-mu sites just absorbing whatever
is there.. reading about what other artists are about, what kind
of influences they have.. just sort of exploring in some hope of
finding my direction..
so.. i guess i just want to get a discussion started on what sort
of concepts/ideas/etc. that other artists are exploring... maybe
something to bring this list out of the shitter, 'cause i'm a bit
tired of seeing little more than show/tracks/ebay notices and
war bullshit that just happens to have [idm] smacked on the front
of the subject...
later,
alexx
