Here's a quote from Paul Miller (DJ Spooky) that seemed relevant (but my mind is
maxed out at the moment so who knows? ;)

"I think that when people several centuries in the future look back at the 20th
century, they'll probably see the signs of a world civilisation being consumed
by the communication technologies it used.
To me, music is a mirror that we hold up to see how cultural structures are
formed. Race, social heirachy, class, national origin: the 20th century saw a
questioning of these issues on a global level, and in a sense, electronic music
was the soundtrack to that intense investigation into the human situation.
Almost all traditional notions of space, time, and physicality have been
reconfigured in ways that we are just beginning to understand. I think that
electronic music has helped us understand the process we've lived through.
Think about everything from the tones you hear coming through the telephone to
the frequencies underlying cellular communications to the algorithms used to
route in the information holding it all together - most of this stuff has been
explored by the avant-guarde.
Industry & science develop the materials, but artists & composers are called
upon to dream of different ways of using them."
