i had a discussion with my brother yesterday about atonal music, and we went on to briefly discuss the major genre's that have impacted electronic music and all that. later on i came to find out that my aunt told my brother a while back my father used to listen to musique concrete at around my age. those who know a little about the birth of experimental music know musique concrete was ofcoarse synthetic music's predesessor. i was fasincated by this news, seeing as i never knew my dad used to have an affinity for anything but oldies rock-r&b/beatles/am 60'70's pop/big band/classical music etc.... seeing as i grew up only listening to that type of music it was unusual to come to find this now especially seeing as my dad has very little patience in listening to my music (ie autechre, richard devine, funkstorung, amon tobin). so anyways i brought this up to my dads attention and he confirmed that he used to listen to a certain french composer, couldn't recall his name but said was his favorite. he explained to me that musique concrete purpose was to induce deep psychological experiences by expressing certain major events of historical significance like for example WWII and the holocaust. this one piece he said was one of his favorites that came to mind, depicted the experience of jews going into the crematory's to be dissimentated and so on. he elaborated some more by talking about the political movement in the 70's by the american youth had been brought on by their incapability to deal with vietnam war therefore it would cause the consumption of drugs and revolt against power. so i guess to generalize he was just stating that music throughout the ages are influenced by political and cultural movements... i thought it was nice to have this discussion with my father, because i've come to realize finally after several years i'm more like my father that i even knew... excuse my lousy grammar :) |

Nice story, thanks for sharing. My dad likes early Autechre, Squarepusher's "Hard Normal Daddy" and bits of Ultravisitor, and even some Venetian Snares. My mum likes Cliff Richard, however. |

its a bit of a relief finding this out! this whole time i thought my dad thought i was some sort of weird freak! i guess when i get older i'll probably get like him and dump most of the loud noises and start listening to more soothing exp. music like atonal. i truly believe its all in age and our way of dealing with our fetishes as we mature. but for the time being i'm young and i still have the capability to consume this stuff. so i'm gonna do some research on the subject matter. |

my dad got me into Sonic Youth. when I was in the seventh grade and Goo came out. he also smokes pot every night and watches horror movies, he has a particualr affinity for Zombie and Vampire pictures. he just bought 'House of 1000 Corpses' and 'Return of the Living Dead.' sometimes parents can be pretty cool. |

when i was 10 my dad bought perfect machine by herbie hancock. this was probably my first introduction to electronic music. the stuff he listened to definitly influence my taste in music. we have lots of conversations on music. although he thinks a lot of the electronic music i listen to sounds primitive? weird. |
