John Cage especially, with the whole "everything is music" (ok, that's
watered down, but whatever) approach. Lots of the old influences peopel
cite with electronic music are fine, but plenty neglect the whole "weird
sound" and "pushing the listeners" aspect of it, too.
Perhaps not surprisingly, modern music is a product of music that's come
before it. I don't think anyone will argue that. I do think that modern
music, though, isn't entirely a "sum of the past." otherwise it would
sound like the past.
