Where do you see the course of electronic music going in
the next couple of years?

Personally I can see a massive move away from computer based
electronic music to new traditional electronic instruments
such as the TB-BANJO and the Korg Sitar.

What do you think?

"it will go to hell"
HA!

Ok well the way I see it is that all the tools you need can
be downloaded for free right? BAck in the day you couldnt
start a band by like downloading a guitar and a drum kit etc
off the internet. Now you can do whatever the hell you
want.
I think music is going to be very flooded in the future,
with every person on the planet making stuff. That could be
good and that could be bad but whatever....

I hope to see new 'listening' devices in the future, where a
listner may hear, see, feel, taste and smell any input that
a composer or artist wish to create.

I made this topic because my fish has died :(

He died because of radiation poisoning.

On the plus side I did find where I dropped my little gamma
source and it is safely rehoused in its lead box.

the hulk didn't necessarily have a big penis, you know.

it was probably green though.

future electronic music will move away from the
overprocessed noise wankery and delve into a more
simply-produced, simple-sounding audio format.

Its allready gotten to that point, any future enhancements
will be like Jazembo said, and the music will evolve beyond
the point of just using your sense of listening (although
its reaching the visual point with visualizations for winamp
but thats random visuals everytime you use it). It will
continue to go in all directions, sometimes take very
unpopular experimental directions like AE or VS or
Merzbow... but these are just people exploring new
territory, eventually people will see that this is just a
passing trend (not saying these artists are the prime
examples because not everything they make is pure shit) and
realize what they really want from music (which my guess)
would be to feel emotions. Thats not including the 'beat
driven' music that seems very popular nowadays, but that
ties into the art of dancing, which is another subject, but
again something that most people will be doing years from
now.

So to sum up music in some years from now:

1. Beat driven music will still (and probably always) be
popular.

2. Music still be emotional (I find that music seems to keep
getting more emotional and deeper for some reason as time
passes)

3. Will encompass all instruments and sounds (no phsyical
instrument is useless or obsolete, actually ANYTHING that
produces sound will be left behind)

(IMO)

*side note: I think back when 'singing/lyrics' was/were an
essential part of (pop) music to most people, is now being
replaced by melodics (aphex?) to convey the same message as
words could once do (with exception of hip hop??(wonders
about prefuse73). But I forsee someone like Bola becomming
the new standard for good pop music in the future.

hey man, its you from the past, now that you're reading
this again, is it funny? We're you right about anything you
said or is this just innane dribble?

bleh *ANYTHING that produces sound WONT be left behind*

To add to this, computer instruments will be used just as
much as traditional instruments, and in many different
combinations, if not infinite combinations.

God, who knows. The possibilities are endless, they always
have been and always will be. I suppose it'll gravitate
toward sound created with computers more and more, not that
I care. Traditional or not, I love it all. But I hope the
influx of totally free or easily stolen high quality
software doesn't result in, like Oxygenfad said (I call him
Tidus, affectionately) a ''flood'' of music. Bad music.
Millions of people with no melodic sense composing melodies
with no sense.

But you could argue that gifted people would now have the
tools at their disposal to do what they do best. So who
knows, I can't even imagine the music scene 10 years from
now. Anytime I try, I see a bluehaired woman wearing a shiny
silver spandex suit, playing a guitar that looks straight
out of The Jetsons.

I don't think popular music in general will ever resemble
anything like we (we being the nutters on this board) listen
to now. Thank God.

It will go less and less hardware; more and more software.

less and less tedium in production to more and more
real-time alla Ableton Live.

in that way it will become more human while also,
paradoxically, becoming more artificial. electronic
musicians will become more dependant on software which will
become tailored toward usability, making improvization more
possible.

and sorry to hear about your fishy Lee.

i think music is going to become very local again, with each
cities "scene" becoming very strong. I dont think there is
much room in mainstream music anymore, and is becoming
extremely flooded and will soon combust. people will realise
the bullshit again, feel pissed off, and make way for a new
form of grunge which will lead to heavy music on the
airwaves. the powers in control of mainstream music will
then slowly but surely regain the power (see the last 20
years.)

the powers in music have attempted to stage the collapse of
mainstream music, but it hasnt worked, and as the target
audience matures, they will realise.

Think of the defining characteristics of the genre. Then do
the opposite, thats where electronic music is heading. Just
like all movements.

yeah i agree with teapot very much here

here in perth the electronic scene is very much in its
infancy, its a quiet localised thing. we dont seem to hear
about interstate acts a lot. there are small groups trying
to encourage artists to play, 'deuce' is the one ive been
keeping an eye on lately. planning to get involved soon :)

whats most pleasing is the irrelevance of the mainstream in
this environment, as live electro is just not getting played
otherwise!
