Interesting thing I noticed...
 

Springymajig from New Zealand (www.mp3.com/aureus) on 2001-07-03 08:02 [#00011913]



We all know this, but everyone takes it for granted, but I
noticed that all musicians have sound/feel/emotion to their
music that NO ONE, no matter how hard they try, can
replicate. For example:

Wax the Nip by RDJ

The main melody from Rae by Autechre

Hasty Boom Alert by Mu-Ziq

People often say, "Everyone copies RDJ's drill & bass style"
or "Anyone could have made I care because you do". BOLLOX
(cool word BTW).

Even though alot of unsigned artist try to make the drill&
bass style music, it's different to Rich, I mean, I
certainly can't say an Orangedust song will ever be an Aphex
hoax. And if anyone could have made I care because you do,
how come nobody has tried to copy that?

[ i agree, and i think its even more simple than an artist
having a feel or style in general. if i make a piece of
music, even with intent to rip off aphex twin, that isnt a
direct copy, but simply 'unoriginal' in the motive, i have
automatically made a piece of music that no one, rdj or the
queen of england, could ever have made. and, because
different people are always so very different, they will
always approach things in different ways- even if the things
being approached are the same. so innevitably,
characteristics of the creator as an artist come through
after time, and patterns develop- because we all form
patterns. that, i think, is the beautiful thing about music-
it can never happen twice, say what you will. every movement
has forerunners, and rdj is undoubtedly the king of his
kingdom, but im glad that other people can make music in a
similar vein, without it being identical, as a result of
people like rdj opening doors that didnt exist before. ]

That's very true for the most part, except for people that
copy and make the same type of techno (or whatever) song
that has already been made by someone else over and over
again, more for the purpose of making money than for the
love of creating and listening to organized sound.

[yes i agree completely. and, in addition to what i said,
there certainly are still levels to which things may differ.
my personal pet peve these days is the production-line
electronica shite, more than anything because of the beat. i
sort of go back and forth on this, but for the most part it
really bugs me that millions of djs making billions of
tracks feel compelled to use the EXACT same beat- almost
verbatum, and the most shockingly simple beat at that.
people can argue that, for dance music, the beat is meant to
drive or propell the song, but i still hold that there are
many other beats which can push a song just as effectively.
a basic 4 beat structure doesnt just become boring, and take
very little skill, but also limits the rest of the music as
well as creating a level of expectedness that, in my
opinion, diminishes it's power to move a dancefloor. i guess
thats why music like afx exists- because to some people, a
beat is an integral part of any electronic music. ]
