i agree that it's good to use whatever technology you can, but i don't necessarily believe that you have to use it ways no one else has. the point should be to use technology to create whatever vision you have trapped in your head. if it involves implementing traditional techniques that's fine. focusing on using tools in ways they've never been used before feels like an avant-garde motivation. however, i feel electronic music is most effective when it involves both a strong internal motivation from the composer AND techniques of creating/finding sound that may not have been considered in the past. on a related note - i think it's pretty neat that a lot of my favorite artists are influenced by avant-garde electronics, even though they might not necessarily sound very much like them. it's the melding of "academic sound" and music that i'm most fascinated with right now... ethan > ---------- > From: chad mossholder[SMTP:xxxxx_xxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx] > Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 1999 11.10 AM > To: Bordeaux, Ethan; xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx > Subject: Re: (idm) Re: DSP plugin > > > I understand the point here.
