And here I was, stupid enough to think it's all about the music
and not the machines or even the istruments...I'll crawl away
into my corner now.
But seriously...who cares how the music is made or even
performed? As long as it does something with you... I for one
think it's great when AFX lies on a stage with his laptop while
there are people in bear-suits dancing around... You could call
it lazy or cheesy, but it does bring a smile on my face! This is
different for every person and someone might get goose-bumps
from a guitar-pick...I, for one, don't.
I think it was quite well putt in that NY Times piece about
"IDM"...I haven't got the excact text here, but it said
something like: "IDM people are sick and tired of the same old
guitar-noises and want something new...". This is really how I
feel it...although I don't have anything against guitars in
particular, and sometimes I even like a guitar-tune (like
"mirror for the sun" from The Red Hot Chilly Peppers), but
generally I've been there, done that...
Just so you know, all this is IMHO!
