keep talking . we are barely scratching the surface here ' surround sound is such a shallow term for where I see the future of music. I think we need to forget about how much we can crunch sounds internally in our minds and get the sound out there. Try playing a trumpet in a cave ! I love standing in front of large outdoor PA's in the wind. I want to see artist perform on systems where the whole PA is floating on boats off shore. And I can walk along the beach catching touches of music between breaking waves. If you are truly board and desperate for something new. I suggest you get a bunch of kids under 11, and show them how to use your equipment. Get them to record their own voices and cut and paste it together .. Most of us are so far from the edge we are drawing circles trying to find it. Stereo is death ' forget about your five point. my ass Go listen to the Car boys drive by in their boom cars ! broadcast some wicked music and get them to tune in, then drive around your block all night . . . Sound is all around us ' and we sit in little boxes trying to divide it into smaller more intellegent forms, while we can hardly hear our breathing. Intelligent dance music is about innovation. Create multi layer sound scape where the center is a pumping party and the surroundings are aural gardens of glitch consumed. We need to get out and play again. Escape the confines of what we want to be good. I fear my age is teaching me to forget tricks. I like listening to where sound is ! .simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
