maybe.. at least it would be experimental.. and a lot more interesting then opening reaktor and making another clitchy beat.. I personally like electroacoustic music which involves he use of processed "found sounds"..

okay sure, I personally hate the sound of the theremin except when I hear it used for 1950s film soundtracks.. but I guess a new theremin album could be classic if pulled off correctly.

eeewww... walter carlos.. I hate everything she/he touched with exception of some of his/her soundtrack work from the late70's early 80's

I am no music major but I dont think electronic music was all about getting new sounds.. there was/is a great deal to be said for those who can take old sounds and make you hear them again in a new way which I think Drukqus succeeded in doing.... check out the earliest electronic works from the 50 and 60s.. they were based on using spliced tape of found sounds and simple oscillators , arranging them in new and interesting ways.. some of it is good.. but like any other genre most is crap.... I don't think Drukqs fits into that category... I think the composition is quite well done, not to mention the production... but again, thats my opinion.. -r __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
