1)what do you see as the future of music?

whatever happens next. I really hate those kind of
questions. they are unanswerable and not just a bit silly.

2)what is your ultimate musical ambition?

making something that amazes myself. although that has
happened and is a continuing process - after that amazement,
it becomes normal (in other words, I've learned
something!).
so maybe a better answer would be to make a coherent
record.

3)How would you describe your music?

hard question. music based on texture of sound and movement
of sound, maybe?

4)what are your music roots?

alternative rock, man! pixies, nirvana, breeders, etc. and
then I opened up to electronic music through autechre. yeh.

1)what do you see as the future of music?

do you really expect a serious answer to this question?

2)what is your ultimate musical ambition?

to be able to write jazz tangled with electronic music. i
never really managed but that's what always sounds in my
head. actually, representing the very ideas i have in mind
as music would be nice in general.

3)How would you describe your music?

i would like it to be described as unique. but it isn't.
currently floats somewhere around idm.

4)what are your music roots?

i played as a keyboardist in a hip-hop/hardcore band for
about 2 years. other than that i've been always addicted to
more unusual music. mostly fascinated with autechre, boards
of canada, pink floyd's early albums, mr.bungle, primus...

Amplified farts and burps.


2)what is your ultimate musical ambition?

To write something that i don't get bored of or i think is
shit a couple of hours after i have written it.

3)How would you describe your music?

Ambient, Electronic with darkness.

4)what are your music roots?

Hmmm, I grew up listening to pink floyd, led zeppelin and
many other classic rock bands. I discovered electronic music
through the rave scene through some tapes my brother had
(prodigy etc.) and i discovered kraftwerk and jean michael
jarre in my dads record collection.

this thread is cool.

1)what do you see as the future of music?
everything will be the same as today, there will be the
simplistic music that the public can grasp, blared on the
radio and televisions, and the complex and artistic music
that all the musicians and college students will listen to.
the only thing that will be different in the will take those
places, as new genres are invented every few years.

2)what is your ultimate musical ambition?
to afford to live while ONLY doing drugs and making music.

3)How would you describe your music?
idm post rock

4)what are your music roots?
um....well if this question means what i THINK it does, i
grew up listening to my parents shitty folk music and my
brother's mediocre classic rock, then got into nu-metal when
i was an angsty teenager and bands like korn were just
inventing the genre. then i got into electronic through
prodigy and orbital, and eventually made my way to idm.

in the future music will be made by computers that
telemarket people's houses with surveys, then using stock
rock instrument samples produce the ULTIMATE pop songs based
on the public's responses.
