yah, it's possible but sometimes i have to wonder whether *the artist* concurs with the writer's perception on his/her piece of music in question! it's also possible that the writer points out wayyy too much meaning than what the artist had intended to express! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I thought the point of (this form of) electronic music was that it wasn't limited by narrow or strict interpretation. Especially with the intentional omission of vocals. This music was understood to be a fiction from the start. To me, what this kind of viewpoint represents is an overall lack of imagination, or lack of the will to imagine on the part of readers or listeners. I mean, how much meaning is enough and who gets to make that decision? Part of the artist's risk in putting your music out there is to have it evaluated in a variety of contexts which you can't control; viewpoints that might have as much validity or legitimacy from the listener's perspective as from the maker's, while being entirely and unexpectedly different. That is (or was) the fun of this music. -Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
