They were great as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mack, but they sucked after he left. He's still got it too... if you like blues. The Stones also rock, but Yes?... eeewwwww. ...skism --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

The only Yes album I can still stand is "Close To the Edge" which is pretty brilliant. Fleetwood Mac were a really good little band before they blew up and got all coked up. I saw them at a roller rink in Salt Lake City right after Rumours came out and they were an absolutely brilliant live show. On Thu, 25 Mar 2004, donna summer wrote:

i think you're ignoring music (some of which happened prior to the 1920's) that is just as vital to the development of electronic music as the lineage you trace. "As early as 1914 Italian Futurist artist Luigi Russolo was working on the Intonorumori, a collection of noisemaking mechanical instruments documented in his tract The Art of Noise"...and we've all heard that name since then. then there was erik satie, who's also been an influence, even on receords as recent as the last aphex twin (at least it sounds like satie and john cage in parts). and of course other experimental and electronic music has happened since then completely outside of blues-based music (and thank god it has). d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

absolutly agreed you cant mention everybody in short email i was just pointing out the most influential as it seems you can imagine electronica without influence of futurists and experimentators but it would have never what we call Dance Culture without funk, i guess theoretically of course __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

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. -- eggytoast.com : eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Where do the Beatles fit into this equation as the band (along w/ George Martin, of course) who invented a number of effects (flange, tape delay, etc.) that electronic music is based around today - as well as the focus on studio projects that would be very hard to replicate in a live setting (paved the way for accepting DJ's, laptops & other pre-recorded music as a substitution for playing each instrument live on stage.) It seems the genre lines between all great music is quite blurred. The Beatles listened to R&B and other groove-based music but followed a decidedly song-based path to the final album. I'm sure that similar issues are raised by the Stones or Prince or Postal Service or Telefon Tel Aviv. -----Original Message----- From: svin [mailto:svinrave@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 12:42 PM To: seeklektek; idm@hyperreal.org Subject: [idm] science in genres when you try to trace the roots of all of it it all goes as far as first blues singers of the 1920s, they were the founders of all of it but later in the 50s music splits into 1.james brown, father of funk and grand father of all of techno and dubbed including electronica and hiphop, all of EBM 2.rockenrolen with less groove, elvis kind interesting thing is that elvis is dead as the trend he generated exhausted itself fully but James Brown still alive, kicking and screaming, getting in and out of jail all the time, big old motherfucker and HIS trend is as young as never, producing music to dance to, from funk, hiphop to cuting edge electronica and i forsee it to grow even further on the other hand rock seems to be dead forever in terms of music innovation and fresh sound, with all latest achievements paying tribute and using dubbing, 4by4 rythmic structures and othe techno methods The reasons people started to hate rockenroll are obviouis.

beatles are rockenrolen with some small experimenting side projects on some of their works but mostly song writers as far as live versus recorder in Modulations documentary Miles davis's producer talks about cutting tape in the studio that was always done before live concerts rarely had same sound as recorded songs laptop performances are sometimes as "live" as they can be in terms of instantenious decision makin by the musician on stage with rock singers on the other hand you can see how they sing to a prerecorded phonogram as well funk-techno trend has different quality of the sound, it grooves, it is a little monotonic, it is oriented to facilitate certain dancing invironment rock-song trend produces generally speking much more limited product with much more strict rules for its structure. that could be another reason it is not reinventing itself but of course genres interlace and overlay and whatever bottom line is arts are only good when they constantly reinvent themselfs sufficiently not superficially __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

concurrent with a lot of this as well, with roots in blues, most early jazz, bop styles up to experimental and free styles, have a lot of the earliest uses with pushing the use of key oriented instrumentation up to the development of the synthesizer, i mean after all, jazz was one of the first, club/dance styles that was compartmentalized into smaller groups with specific intentions of club/dancing/intoxication in mind, as well as playing with prototypes to filtering and effects by outside/directional/physical manipulations. i do draw a lot of my research/development from these early composer/innovators as well in composition, technique, meter etc...two cents. later, Nth G.

Not to play Captain Poopypants here, but a lot of this lineage-tracing seems to be a exercise in constructing linear narratives from a scattered, contradictory and often unrelated scattering of events. Ultimately, we need some narratives to help organize our understandings of origins and development, but IDM's histories seem to resist that...and I think that's a good thing, overall. If anything unifies EDM, IDM and Electroaccoustic/Tape music's origins, it's the prevelance of hermetic creativities. So many artists in electronic music (especially before the last 1/4 of the XX-century) worked in a state of conceptual isolation, taking their inspiration from a broad array of sources rather than a father-teacher/student-son scenario. So, while I recognize the importance of creating creation stories for IDM and EDM (this is especially true in a classroom setting), we should leave some room for Other stories, Other voices. cheers, Luis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

actually i disagree entirely. i consider the futurists and experimentors far more important to electronic music because of the nature of electronic instruments. when they were first invented, they were exclusively the province of experimentors and inventors. for years the machines were so large they filled science labs, never mind being able to afford one to bring it on the road. as far as funk being necessary to dance culture you may be right, i can't comment on that. but to paraphrase an earlier post today, IDM is not always about dance culture. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

yes. there's no doubt that if one has listened to music, it will influence that person's creation of music. the difference between unremarkable and remarkable creations is the ability to apply ideas that don't come from the past to those that do. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

it possibly is blues+rock+whatever i am not sure i wasnt "researchuing" that. My point was that the last stop before it turned into Dancing Electronica was funk. And i argued this extremely precise refering to specifics of sound and perception that are SAME in funk and EDM. dont respond if it bothers you, ok with me, i will not have to respond, keep on rockin and rolling __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
