I know this might be a strange question, but do you think IDM had any influence on your political leanings? I found myself fascinated by certain sounds and aesthetics which could be classified as modernist. So i was wondering if this kind of culture influenced me somehow. Not because it carried certain messages, but because it articulated a certain kind of mood.. |

Its probably subtly shaded my opinions having discussions on here about stuff, i know why people in the back hills of Alabama (for example) continually have right wing views or what not because there is no one around to challenge their entrenched worldview, you need people to challenge your opinions, and if they stand up in your mind to scrutiny and logic than that is great, if they make you have a change of heart for the right reasons, that is also great |

politics and music is ok, if you know what youre talking about, eg if you made a significant experience on the field, internet activism is not a way that could make someones music more seriously. look at muslimgauze, i read he never visited the middle east once in his life, made his manifesto totally rely on trasmitted data. in fact he totally missed the message imo. |

I greatly enjoy listening to music that could be called challenging, and IDM, I must admit, as a broad genre, is one I enjoy most. Some of Autechre's music took me years to appreciate and "get"; a process that continues to this day. I think " experimental " music can open your mind in terms of creativity, and ways to view the world, and in my case "this sort of music" has had a huge impact. But in terms of politics I remain as intolerant, xenophobic, judgemental, superior and racist as ever. So I think it's swings and roundabouts. |

Autechre tried with the Anti EP. I guess even though most would tend to lean towards the left, they don't necessarily want their music to be political. You can tell tough, I mean Boards of Canada don't exactly come across as right wing extremists. Mind you now I think of it, Merzbow, though maybe not IDM per say, is very political with his music. |

RE: Merzbow - I think that comes with the territory when you're a hardcore gayer. |
