ok, I go to music school. A comteporary one... we learn everything from classical to jazz, to rock to soul, even electronic if we are in the synth major...
anyways
we had an assignment... we had to bring in a peice of music and discuss it
most people at berklee are diehard jazz and stuff
so i decided to bring in bucaphlous bouncing ball (sp?)
needless to say, there was a look of horror and total misunderstanding on thier faces. it was priceless.
i went on to explain how electronuic music is music too, and etc etc
but i could tell, that not a soul in the class understood.
they just looked at my like a crazy man
hehehehe
poor bastards

fuck...you'd think people at a contempory music school would have open enough minds & ears to be able to cope with AFX...even out-there stuff like BBB...
Good job you didn't play em any Confield...;)..they probably would have tried to kill you...

now hold on... they arnt classically trained... but they can be snobbish about the jazz
there are people who are into it though
and im always trying to show it to people who never heard of it
there is a synth major (im in) and everyone in it is into electronic music

well, given, they usually are open... to some extent... and i have turned some people on to it...
but alot of these people grow up playing guitar or piano or whatever... to them its kind of an insult to not have people playing
i can understand it....
but they should loosen up

i grew up playing classical cello for quite a few years...and love electronic...i think it's the best genre of all time.
also, pianists should get electronic. To be a virtuoso is the same as losing your soul to the instrument. Especially to the piano. It's very hard to play works the require extinsive technique with passion. The same cold, maticulosness is present in many electronic arts.

it's a real college radio station broadcasting to a town of 20,000 people and a few miles outside of town. you can listen to it on the internet through warpradio.com
go to the site linked above for my playlists from this past school year :) [note: it is NOT any one genre]

well,
thats my big problem with jazz
the whole thing where you play the melody, then everyone takes turns soloing
and they do all these complex solos
just way too much
minimalizm man
i like electronic music because it has no boundries
you can have stylistic influences of any type... or just do somethin totally unheard
and stuff
but im tired, so im goin to bed,

that's funny about your music class Zeus, I know that if I ever want anyone to keep away from my computer (if all of a sudden everyone wants to check their email) I play -confield preferably track 02 at the moment) and I soon have all the space I need ... brilliant!!! damm that second track is dark, (it's also good for listening to on minidisc whilst walking along the beach at night,!!)

Jazz is cool tho.
I had a similar experience doing a little presentation of electronic music for my high school class.
I did try to piss them of a bit. Started with some jean michel jarre, wich they could cope, but when i played atari teenage riot and bogdan raczynski loud, people thought i was crazy. The cover and music for the last track i played made them sure of it...

Yeah there was this guy who had some sexual thing going on (thought I would steal his girlfriend) so he brought only the music that he and his dog liked to my party since I asked them to bring something because I had nothing that herd would like, so I like tried to compete with him and played the bouncing ball song. Stupid fucks didn't even realise that I was joking, and they were all glad since they thought I "failed". I am glad I won't see them anymore.
