Sounds more like trance music than dance music. Doesn'r EDM stand for electronic dance music? My favorite 'electronic' artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te8xC-P869Q
Jungle's dance music, even if you don't want to, or can't, dance to it. lol Each to their own. Is your 'drum and bass' as good as this? :-D : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUqur0X2OAo
"What about negative light? Pigs use it for a tambourine. Which is one of the reason's the music's hard to understand." lol :-D
Oh, so it wasn't EDM then, it was 'jungle'? Pretty sure what is called EDM has a regular beat thats easy to dance to. No I don't make 'Drum and Bass' music, but I do program drum tracks and bass tracks for use in some of my stuff. I do my best to make it sound as human as possible where I can.
It comes from a deeper place too... At least a small amount of it does. A lot of it is just a rehash of cookie cutter stuff that had no soul to begin with.
Those transducers sound fairly vital from where I'm standing to being able to share any of this divinity thedope demands he's dishing up! Beethoven not withstanding. :-D I can 'imagine' his music til the cows come home. ( Not the cue for a cowbell btw )
You can't record the kind of music Dope's talking about. And It's the very rare musician that dedicates themselves in trying to allude to it.
I think we're living in a retro age. Musicians and other creative people stuff themselves into molds not of their own making, partially for social and economic reasons, mostly because deviation from classical patterns takes real inspiration. (I know You probably know about this stuff Ty, I'm including it for the 'dear reader') Frank Zappa once held 'freak outs" where people were encouraged to express themselves through free association. "On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express creatively his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole." When people are empowered to have their own ideas, that kind of thing is a threat to the establishment, the status quo. Once the authority's got wind of what was going on they shut that shit down. In a fury, curfews were enacted and police began closing down club after club on the strip. These incidents spawned the Sunset strip curfew riots, or "hippie riots" that saw clashes between young people and the police that lasted from 1966-1970.
