where do you think music is heading?

Any and all genres, or just in general.

Where will it go next?

Will we continue into the extremes of audio manipulation...

will we abandon all sense of harmonies.

or will we retrograde, go back to the more simpler things.

Im curious to see what comes next.

We are boarder lineing with the extreme noise artists... i
dont see how it could be pushed further.

i think the 80s is coming back, i think theres going to be a
big funk comeback and disco is going to dissapear once
again, only to come back stronger in 10 years time

i dont think audio manipulation is going to go any
further... any further and it wont make any sense
anymore...

well thats what i think anyway

yeah

theres a point where the audiomanipulation would just lose
all aesthetic value.

and another thing to add into the equation

how about distribution?

think the record companies with ever just crumble... and art
is no longer made for profit... but for the love of art...
and you will be able to access it for free on the
internet... thus making the music much better, because it
comes from real music lovers, not people hoping to make big
bucks.

I don't know where music as a whole will go (obviously) but
I know there will always be good music out there. I just
need to find it.

extreme audio manipulation will carry on as long as
technology and society carries on in my opinion .. of course
i don't think this will be exactly a "big" genre - if one
even wants to put music into a box.

you can't imagine NOW what it will be like, but it will make
sense .. there's no way it couldn't.

i think there is a definate sense of where its going,
nothing more than a vibe really. hard to put the finger on,
yet exciting to anticipate.

My cousin listens to elevator music anyway. And so do I
occassionally. It's just so relaxing and unpretentious.
I've flipped on the weather channel before just for the
music (muzak..), no joke. It's a nice break from radio
hits. I think Brian Eno would be proud. btw, I know you
were joking.. :)

X-TREME MUZAK by def jux remixed by boards of canada...
thats what i see, and no matter how dumb it sounds, you know
youd all buy it too.

i got it! here we go: liza minelli and pee wee herman doing
a duet of light my fire. the band backing them would be john
mcentire on kazoo, john lennon and kurt cobain as backup
dancers, and ellen feiss as stoner babe

-more IDM in teen pop music & hip-hop
-conscious & underground hip-hop (eg: common, mos def, the
roots, talib kweli, etc.) on mainstream urban radio thanks
to cameos from current mainstream artists (jay-z, jadakiss,
mary j. blige, musiq, etc.)
-limp bizkit's next cd not selling as well as the last,
causing their dissolution a year later
-less nu metal on the radio (people are so sick of it, and
these sort of fads seldom last more than 2 or 3 years)
-more emo and garage (u.s. garage rock, not u.k. dance)
nonsense on the radio
-the u.s. listening to less u.k. acts than ever
-everyone releasing bonus dvd's on their next album

i predict we all grow wankers on the left sides of our heads
and then the sound it makes when it slaps against our face
will become a genre all of its own...people will be killing
to buy these records

for me, music heads always into a bad direction because my
taste is allways a bit "late". then it gets better when a
bit older.

its going to become very minimalistic with "raw" (perhaps
unfinished) sounds, its heading towards its roots
somethin' like that :)

"yeah

Well, I think that if you take any sort of music to an
extreme, it will lose it's magic.

I can't imagine any new direction music could go aside from
revivalistic spins on old genres.. with the birth of
synthpop a few decades ago and 'computer music' later, there
ceased to be the need for new instruments to create sounds.
any sound you can think of can be made. so where does music
go from here? two possibilities:
1. new formats of media are introduced, allowing huge opuses
of droning minimalism and truly random sounds to be made.
2. time becomes a factor, people experiment with extra long,
multiple hour pieces and short split second bursts.
3. spoken word makes a huge leap in popularity
4. the focus is places on juxtaposition. styles are mixed
in unconvential, unorthodox ways for a while until even that
becomes cliche.

sounds like a bleak future...

I like the time experimentation idea. I've been messing
around with that lately.

clic>yeah always thought that it would be interesting..
haven't really tried it myself.. you have any mp3s
perchance?

Points: 5232 Status: Regular



not yet. still working through some things. haven't been
using much software lately, so everything has to be ran in
though the computer in order to create an mp3. i will
eventually though.

There's a guy in my city that is putting together a
compilation of tracks called 'Every 12 Seconds'. Every track
on it is 12 seconds or shorter, and it's mostly odd sound
experimentations. There is this one hip hop/mc guy on there
though, that sampled a part from some track (wish I could
remember the name) and made it into a Paul Newman dis song.
It's so pointless, it's funny.

clic> that sounds like a fascinating, albeit annoying
experiment. I would love to hear what people do with their
twelve seconds. reminds me of Brian Eno trying to create
the famous three-second piece that became the Microsoft
Sound ..
