what do u use term electronica for? what term would you use for aphex twin's music? personally i differ between terms electronica and electronic music. is this the same thing? for example; if i say aphex was playing everything from hip hop, d'n'b, jungle, gabba, noise and then his own music - what term would this fit in? |

"what term would you use for aphex twin's music?" call it aphex twins music "for example; if i say aphex was playing everything from hip hop, d'n'b, jungle, gabba, noise and then his own music - what term would this fit in?" It'd be much more interesting if you could actually name the tracks and artists rather than one lazy blanket term. |

i say "electronic music", usually. when i want to be more precise, i say "techno" for Chemical Brothers, Fluke etc; "ambient" for Seefeel, Brian Eno etc; "experimental electronic music" for weird stuff like Autechre, etc. i don't know what to say for FSOL though. |

i don't know what to say for Aphex Twin either. especially because he has a dozen of different genres. |

well, there's limited time so i can't go too much in detail..i wish i could. i'll do it when/if they'll let me do the afx show. melack, that's an good idea there, although i don't know if anyone but hardcore electronic fans would get what that is..it's a nice term though.. |

i would say electronic music is a much wider term then electronica. røyksopp is electronica. soft, melodic stuff. but that's just my view. it's impossible to talk about genres nowadays. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

i think idm is a really pretentious term, i try not to use it. Electronic music is my lazy blanket term. I do try, like JivverDicker suggests, to name individual tracks and artists, most of the time though. |
||||||||
|

|

The best electronica is obviously the Zelda64 soundtrack. Obviously. |

that how i understand it as well. murray, i don't like to use that term either, but that's how it's known and everyone else uses it so i have to as well..sort of..perhaps i'll be able to change this in the future :) |

ok. but how do you explain your music to a person that has never heard of aphex/ae sort of music? i agree it sounds stupid and pretensious with intelligent dance music, braindance and complex potatomusic, but i don't like it when people think i'm listening to tiesto and jumping around on e because i say electronic music. |

i usually say "electronic music", when i want people to understand what im talking about (in spain most people is still saying "techno" to everything, tho...). but for me the correct word is braindance, what express something beyond, a way to understand music, to make and listening, where styles are nothing else than a base to have a beggining to experiment... i dont like electronic music (there are lots of artists i dislike), i like braindance (and what i understand for braindance...). for me, its not a matter of instruments or sounds or styles, its a matter of attitude, of trying to do something new and interesting. |

Try explaining how and why you make it, unless it is just aphex/ae rip off. |

i actually had to explain it for one of my professors at the university, since she had been on my webpage looking for my phonenumber, and i use this space as a temporarely mp3-site for my music. i told her i was making some kind of experimental electronic computermusic, which i sometimes played from my computer for small audiences. she though it sounded interesting. at least i felt like i had an excuse for not working very much with my master thesis. i told her that the music took very much of my time. |

That sounds perfect! It's just boring when people think soo little of music they describe it in such a drab manor. It's like if I was asked what I had for dinner and replied 'some brown stuff, a white thing with green bits' |

|

|
"experimental electronic computermusic" maybe, a new term would be required :) |
||||||||

Actually that sounds quite tasty, I'm going to have some of that tonight. |

When talking to people who have never heard anything similar I'd just call it electronica. This is not due to any lack of enthusiasm for the music but because a) they probably don't care (on the spot judgement is needed to ascertain this however) and b) (which I've mentioned before) I'm crap at describing music. Fortunately, most of the time I don't need to consider it as almost no-one is interested in the music I listen to :) |

well, this station is sort of educational so we're supposed to explain it properly and not just call it something..although calling it music would be an awesome idea! |

I think I would say ''electronic music''. I think. I would hate to say that to someone and have them think I'm a big Moby/Darude fan. I don't have much experience chatting in real life about electronic music. I think I'd mention Intelligent Dance Music just to see what kind of reaction it gets, but I'd keep my tongue in cheek about it. |

And you're a non-breaking waste-of-space! Take a break. *giggles* *B7s* *only joking. *for now. |

I usually say "electronic music, but not the boring repetitve stuff you're tihnking of, you'd have to listen to it to understand" I always feel like such a twat afterwards, like I'm looking down on htem or something, patronising them, but I'm not exactly lying am I? (unless they're a braindance type fan themselves) |
