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.

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!
