my latest school essay.. i decided to write about something i love, today's electronic music. it's a 22 pager with bibliography and an appendix of an email Q&A i got to do with mark bell (aka LFO, aka the guy who produced homogenic and other cd's you probably or at least should own). got an A on it :) very, very musical, so if you don't know musicological terms it might bore you. it was for my History of Music class. puts into historical and theoretical terms a lot of this IDM stuff. i used the following artists for detailed musical analysis: aphex twin jega telefon tel aviv autechre amon tobin i also discussed influences like kraftwerk, derrick mays, edgar varese, and milton babbitt. a long read but you may enjoy it if you like scholarly papers or just really love reading about your favorite music. i may do a radio show (possibly pirate radio since the radio station seems mad at me...?) later this week. i'll keep you updated. |

radio station student manager (a senior named nikki... total whorebag, she wears so much makeup she looks like a clown in a leather mini-skirt) is mad at me cos i spoke out against the preferential treatment she and some of her staff members give certain dj's... i'm not among those in favor with them cos we're not friends and they think i'm weird for my musical tastes and maybe other stuff like how i look or talk? an A is the highest you can get in college... A+ is never given out, maybe twice in 5 years. let me know if these papers work, jand had a hard time.. he says he downloaded it and it appeared as jibberish |

That was interesting. I now have a heap more understanding than i previously did about the electronic industry and more so "IDM". Nice work. |

I had no problem downing your papers , looking forward to reading it later =) So is anyone at your college listening to your shows or is it only we your dedicated xltronic fans listening ? That old Jazz Cat that comes in after your show how does he fit in the picture ? Isn't he a bit old for a college radio station ? (mind you i have very little knowledge about how college radio actualy works) |

hhhah sido you're too funny......it's BEER time right now....muahahhaha....fo shizzle that 'old geezer' that comes on after travis is a local guy (as far as i know he's not in college=o) and he doesn't have anything to do with the WACKS that run the station, they are fellow students who play favourites. tis a sad reality (as far as US Radio stations go, especially college radio stations) that if you don't play Top 40 songs and the like, that your music tastes are considered OUT there. i mean they NEVER play Aphex on the radio, much less AE, []pusher, etc.... i dunno how many radio station DJ's who may even know who he is? i think europeans have an edge cos it seems there's more variety in the music thats played out there.......right? |

i d/l'd too w/o any problems......just to make sure it worked! =0) |

Here in sweden the best music is played on the goverment owned radio. You get specialised shows on differnet music genres like reagy , rock , pop electronic etc...plus live concerts (aphex for example =). Then there is all the comercial stations that seems to have the same mongoloid playlist repeating every hour mixed with mindless blah blah blah and stupid comersials. The underground stations are often on a crappy frequense and you kinda have to stand on a mountain with a 20 ton reciever to get a proper signal hehe. |

bump for those interested in a detailed disseration on IDM (influences, history, qualities) although it uses a lot of musical terminology it's all explained... you can be a novice at music and it should make some sense to you i mentioned the MB in the paper too :) |

Nice, I dig it! ''The term “IDM” was coined not by the creators of the music but by its listeners.'' And we are such fools. ''This can be observed on many Internet forums such as Xltronic.com, where members of its message board regularly exchange ideas and mp3’s of their music for remixes and compilations.'' Rock over London, rock on Chicago. |

*tries to imagine dancin' to dis stuff* ehehhe btw.....i had no idea that it originated in the US and the fools that we are kicked it overseas.......damnnnnnnnn *loves learning new things.....excellent work d00d* |
||||||||

Exactly. All of the late 80s, early 90s "electronica" owes to Detroit and Chicago for inspiration... |

thanks again dudes to spread the word i made my first post @ WATMM since signing up in 2001.. people there appreciated it too for the most part, though there are a couple knuckleheads... joyrex you should give it (the paper) a read |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mad propz to watmm for showing so much more interest and appreciation for this paper, and i don't even post over there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've read the first bit! It's really interesting, I'll try and finish it tomorrow....I'm glad you got a good grade.. |

thank you jivverdicker :) the responses have all been very good so far. one guy is telling me to send it to journals but i don't think that'd work. it's too general for the speciality journals and too specific for the general (music) journals. i'm just happy people have been enjoying it and i'll keep these on my site until i see someone claim it as their own writing. for anyone who downloaded other papers on the site, i haven't read those other ones (except for steve reich) since the month i wrote them. so if you wanna discuss it i'll have to reread them cos i don't know if i still agree with the ideas i wrote. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yea and if you have any insights or corrections Jivver please email me them |
||||||||
|
|

I'm sure lot's more people have enjoyed it but daren't say so or just don't post nonsense on here...as I said before a few of my friends listened to your radio show ages ago and they didn't get the link from here....I don't know where they got it actually? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, i know more people participate in things than it seems, and i try to keep that in mind. but it doesn't hurt to have the topic on page 1 so people know about it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahah you are TOO funny.......guess peepz have a reputation to protect and they don't wanna be caught readin' a really scholarly paper.....ahhahahhah glad you took the time to read, twas excellent! |
||||||||

Great stuff, tits....as I mentioned in my mail, you sure can write; wish I had half your skills with English.... BTW I can turn these into .PDF files for you if you want...that would make them easier to view for people than the current Word format... let me know....(got rest of week off for dental torture so will be catching up with loads.....)... |

i skimed through....lots of mentions of 'bine'...hmm.... |

I've downloaded it - I may download your essays on Capitalism too |

excellent read, tits. i likes |

thank you again :) marlowe, i need to reread those capitalism essays. i haven't read them in 12 months, i might not agree with everything i said in them. i remember being pleased with them so i posted them, but to be honest, had i read them first they might not be online. bob mcbob, you should read what i said about "bine." it took me months to understand that track; actually it wasn't until i started reading about milton babbitt, the twelve-tone scale, and atonality that it started to make sense to me. so if you want to get a better grasp on it you should give that section at least a read. |

The only flaw I could find was ''coined'' being used twice in consecutive sentences. You're not getting the A+ you deserve from this grammar nut until it's fixed. It just... weirded me out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, that was one sloppy part, usually i'm pretty good with the vocab so i was surprised i missed it.. but fuck it i'm keeping it were people here able to make sense out of the sections on the 12 tone scale, atonality, minimalism, etc.? did you agree with my associating those concepts with electronica? discuss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but you still slopped out.........ho ho! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes i like it sloppy! i'm watching a movie, can you reply to my N*E*R*D email please? thanks.. cya :} oh yea and lemme know any comments you have on the paper assuming you finished it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll have a look.....Seriously I'm sooo scared at looking at my emails, It's all things I should be doing! + getting penis enlargers, hair restorers etc. N.E.R.D. are my favourites at the moment. Yeah, they take things but their twist on things is sooo current and fresh. |

Very good essay. Much better than my college essays... I guess "the rampant use of stimulants and hallucinogens like mushrooms and Ecstacy" might have had something to do with that... |
