I love the new Styrofoam album, and Ben Gibbard/Postal Service. Very
talented
human being. Also cool to see Seattle getting attention for a hybrid group,
to
help reinforce our electronic music culture and sound aesthetics, as opposed
to
the archaic grunge archetype. Anyway, I agree about how a lot of electronic
labels have evolved or even expanded their labels(e.g.. warp, lex), but I
feel
this is a natural progression for most labels that want to survive,
diversity.
It helps broaden their fan base and I feel that at this point it is easier
to
blend and perform with traditional instrumentation with current electronic
music implementation then it was in the past. Also currently, like hip hop,
we
are children of a new thing, due to our instruments just recently being
invented in respect to the lifetime of music, but now we have all been
developing for a long time to a lot of separate styles, but agreeing on one
general larger thing, and that is starting
to seep into the other types of arts. hip hop/rock, hip hop/jazz,
electronic/rock, electronic/hip hop are huge generalizations but you get
the
idea, there are so many sub genres in music and then those fuse to make
new
ones. then something happens, another new thing and all this stuff that
hadn't
even ever occurred to us happens again. beautiful cycle, checkout the
book
temperament by stuart issacoff, it relates all of the developments of
music,
theory with the inventions and modifications of keyboard instruments.
good
point topic, thanks for listening. go to work now. later, Nth
