None of these artists invented the term "IDM". ~1998 |
||||||||
|
|

I don't think anyone "invented" it. But certain artists has developed the genre, yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did...obviously |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this'll turn out to be an interesting discussion. btw, I'm almost 100% sure the term "idm" was invented by the press. |

This thread is just going to keep getting awesomer from here on out. |

|
|
qrter> i agree, actually.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean who invented the style of music not the term and I know it was not invented, but developed... well who were the firsts to develope the genre? |
||||||||
|
|

|
Year Zero spotting is pointless...culture's far more rhizomatic than that & whatever historical narrative anyone subscribes to is at best subjective; at worst, fascistic... |

"the current electronic music scene is becomming increasingly fragmented into multiple genres of music. as this wonderful artform continues to mature we'll undoubtedly see new genres form, and congeal together. Intelligent Dance Music is one area of electronic music that is garnering much attention amongst the musical underground" - g. robert zalmahn - mindmeld magazine - c. 1994 i think this is it's first formal mention. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm pretty sure I mentioned it formally the day before that. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||

The IDM mailing list was started before that ... in response to the Warp AI series in 1993. |

I wouldn't call Theremin IDM although, it's experimental, yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre ofcourse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
sortof off-topic... have you ever invented anything, tols? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think so...at least nothing memorable :( why do you ask? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was just wondering :) I haven't invented anything either, but I have created things artistically (audio/video), which is also a creative process. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sure is! btw, you could start a thread about inventors...im sure there would be plenty of hilarious replys :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good idea! |
||||||||

IDM was started by an Englishman living in Delaware(aka, FLuid, the one with the LP in his hand). He was seminal in starting hyperreal and was responsible for the cataloging of all AFX releases. So, you can blame him for that awful pretensious title |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Coil did. Love's Secret Domain and Music To Play In The Dark were the first IDM albums, some of thier older stuff could be considered IDM too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it was theremin who invented it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

thats right, Fluid was Alan M. Parry (AMP) of hyperreal who coined the term when creating the IDM mailing list. there were these IDM t-shirts printed up in the beginning to look like IBM shirts in like '93 or whenever that was. but i think the first IDM genre wise that i remember hearing was like Harold Faltermeyer and all the Beverly Hills Cop stuff. i mean like '84, and that sounds to me as close to the root sound of what IDM the genre came from. not disco but not rave shit either. post Moroder even though Faltermeyer was Moroders protege. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
IDM the phrase not the first "idm" music..The internet is just one big rumor mill isn't it? Fuking useless. I told you who coined it.. here's a thread were Mike P confirms this.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Beverly Hills Cop ? You gunna say that and not even bring up Jan Hammer? Come on. |

A loaded term meant to distinguish electronic music of the '90s and later that's equally comfortable on the dancefloor as in the living room, IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) eventually acquired a good deal of negative publicity, not least among the legion of dance producers and fans whose exclusion from the community prompted the question of whether they produced stupid dance music. Born in the late '80s, the sound grew out of a fusion between the hard-edged dance music heard on the main floor at raves and larger club events, and the more downtempo music of the nearby chill-out rooms. DJs like Mixmaster Morris and Dr. Alex Paterson blended Chicago house, softer synth-pop/new wave, and ambient/environmental music, prompting a wave of producers inspired by a variety of sources. (Many DJs and producers were also reacting against the increasingly chart-leaning slant of British dance music during those years, exemplified by novelty hits like "Pump Up the Jam" by Technotronic and "Sesame's Treat" by Smart E's.) Sheffield's Warp Records proved home to the best in the sound ? in fact, the seminal Warp compilation Artificial Intelligence alone introduced listeners worldwide to a half-dozen of the style's most crucial artists: Aphex Twin, the Orb, Plastikman, Autechre, Black Dog Productions, and B12. Other labels ? Rising High, GPR, R&S, Rephlex, Fat Cat, Astralwerks ? released quality IDM as well, though by the mid-'90s much of the electronica produced for headphone consumption had diverged either toward the path of more experimentation or more beat orientation. With no centered, commercial scene to speak of, North America became a far more hospitable clime to IDM, and by the end of the '90s, dozens of solid labels had opened for business, including Drop Beat, Isophlux, Suction, Schematic, and Cytrax. Despite frequent attempts to rename the style (Warp's "electronic listening music" and Aphex Twin's "braindance" were two choices), IDM continued to be the de facto way for fans to describe their occasion |

occasionally undescribable favorites ..the counter is a bit off. undescribable was allowed by the counter, but "ally undescribable" was cut off anyway. that's 18 letters off. |
