rap in IDM is possible. i think its a great idea actually, been exploring
the musical aspect of it myself. its not easy, which is prolly why it
hasnt been succeded at many times. i think the key is to make the music
fit the vocals, where if you had an aggressive rap going on, you dont wanna
have "girl/boy song" playing behind it. here's an idea i just thought
about: make a simple 4/4 beat, put some decent melody or sample on it or
whatever. then let yr rapper do his thing, and get down a few verses.
then take the vocal track out of the rest of it and compose music which fits
with the vocals, instead of the other way around. in essence its kinda
like remixing a track. also, the comment someone made about actually
changing the vocals is probably a really good idea.
anyways, the definitive rap/IDM song in my opinion is autechre's "ccec" off
of ep7. groovy drums, booming bass, and seriously fucked up vocals all with
the autechre touch. and you can bob yr head to it.
