How do you describe Idm/Electronica to a friend? I find it really hard to describe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed! I tell them to think of all the music they know and makes it together till you get this really braindancing music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha, makes = mix |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

First of all I don't call it Intelligent Dance Music. That makes me think of nerds having spasms. Which is actually what it is if you think about it. I don't try to describe it. I put on a CD and let people find out for themselves that they don't like it. |
||||||||

~@#&*+*/*#§\!=,±`... it's too varied to have a fully satisfying description i think. i could describe autechre, squarepusher, venetian snares, individually... but not really idm (and, in fact, not even aphex twin). maybe, generally undanceable electronic music? |
||||||||
|

|
|
braindance, kloar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes but if you don't have a cd...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would say it sounds like manic depressive robots jolting their pleasure centers with electrical cables, and sometimes they play videos of children's shows to remind themselves of what the world was like when there were humans alive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol and then the person you was describing it too would run away? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate it when i get that question. but normally i just ask them if they've heard anything by afx, squarepusher and boc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just spin a disc and let them get the impression them selves |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the term idm stinks of pretentiousness |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would link them to the Aphex.nu FAQ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and by all means: intelligent DANCE? I couldn't think of a more misleading word myself. I usually say advanced electronica or something; but that sounds cheezy too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well how would you describe rap-music? Or rock-music? :-p Fact is you can't properly describe music with words alone, you need to hear it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just be honest and call it prog. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anti-dance post-futurist wank-core |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say music that makes you think,like Jazz Fusion.Intelligent soundscape that require full attention.Totally unique(at times). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
- melack, what music do you listen to? - a kind of rare music. people are often satisfied with this definition... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just lie and say your into chart music like the rest of us! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I usually just say,"It doesn't matter because you won't have heard of it." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use to call it "electronic freejazz". Experimental, doesn´t follow any rules, and can sound anyhow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just say electronica, come on... Intelingent Dance Music?? I wouldn't blame anyone for laughing if i said that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah but if you say Electronica they usually say "yeah I love that Trance stuff!" and then I slap them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sometimes I get the feeling that some people only are into this because it´s cool to have an exclusive taste of music.... Hope I´m wrong here ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, that´s what I call it too - Electronica, plain and simple. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
considering so much music gets generalised as idm, how can you decribe it. for example, boards of canada hardly sound like squarepusher, huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i call it homoelectro |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mostly, when people ask me what tunes i like, i just tell them that they wouldnt like it. then they say "oh, so you dont really listen to music then..." idiots. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats how I used to think,I thought I was being Intelligent and interlectual. But know I realise I love the music,and i'm still dumb and I don't know how to spell interullectual. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm....to give a perfect description of IDM is impossible, the genre is just too complex but I'd say electronic music with an experimental element, often non-repetitive....err.....that was about it for today I think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oddly i have neverr had to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like progtronica or electrogressive I see this music as progessive, and experimental. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Using the term progressive will conjour thoughts of proggressive trance.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Adjectives to describe IDM: blippy, technical, mechanical, cerebral, progressive music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
idm for me is is: music with all common musical elements stripped from it, and experimental elements added. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i call it robot music and then start going bleep bleep bloop bloop and doing the robot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
electronic music nice melodies and wicked beats... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's not country music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's music made by noodle armed choir buys that feel like they are doing something new, when all these 'experiments' were done better 60 years ago with primitive tone modules. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
made by girls too..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how to describe idm: wtf? you don't know what idm is?? Get away from me you commercialite! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I say it sounds like "werid techno music". Or experimental electronic music. Or glitchy breakbeat techno stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the kind of electronic music bjork listens to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
