Hey folks,
I have been browsing this list for a while. My current incarnation is more
of a techno DJ working towards production of who knows what abomination and
evil ends. I have seen some old faces from the SF industrial scene post
here (Hello!) and I think that is great as that is the scene I more I less
grew up on before heading out to college and my current musical world
Egregious/Bad Monkey.
Just got in the mail yesterday the latest Computer Music Journal and I must
say I was surprised! This issues included the yearly sampler and it was the
first thing I looked at... My mouth dropped when I saw the likes of: Taylor
Deupree, Kim Cascone, Coil, Kid 606, Thomas Brinkman, and about 30 other
idm/microsounders.
There is a great article by Kim Cascone titled, The Aesthetic of Failure:
"Post Digital" Tendencies in Contemporary Computer Music. IDM list was
brought up among other topics such as techno DJs!
So, go out and find a copy. Don't know when the CMJ website will be
updated, but this issue is worth the $30 cover price if not for the content
for the shear joy of seeing academic recognition of popular computer music.
Great forward from Joel Chadabe as well.
Cheers,
