IDM is a silly name. we all know it. if describing autechre, aphex,
boc....i say IDM. not because they make "Intelligent Dance Music" but
because they pioneered the genre. it formed around them, they didn't form
around it.
describing my own music on the other hand, i prefer the term "experimental
electronic" because it is exactly what kind of music i make. i experiment
with electronic equipment and music happens. songs are then formed from
sounds. my stuff could be called IDM, but i personally think the term is
not descriptive of my music. i think it would be very cool to pioneer
this type of music. so if any of you want to start a "e.e" list, then i'll
gladly be the next autechre :)
