Electronic music can be cold

Does anyone find this type of music a little cold now and
then?

Now and then it can be pretty cold and mechanical but other
times it's teaming with electrical organic life. Both make
me happy.

It could be warm as well. That's the beauty of it. Best from
different worlds.

Yeah but you live in bloody Canada. All music must warm
compared to the weather.

The new Shakira song is pretty cold, all those POP songs
lack soul.

Is that the one that goes: "whenever, wherever... I'll be
near... something about breasts..."?

When that Shakira video comes on I mute the volume and
pleasure myself.

The song by Russell Crowe's band has just come on the radio.
Warp - sign him up. Vincent Gallo - watch out.

Billy Bob Thorton and Russell Crow can do a collaberation.
Maybe a CD for the "in the fishtank" series.

Yeah, it can be cold....

But sometimes that's what you want...so tiresome having too
many emotions thrown at you with lyric based stuff..

But it's not all cold...depends on how you approach it...

Aphex is probably the warmest of the lot...he really does
appreciate emotions and how music can affect them &
communicate...

I guess I mean that you lose some of the warmth that organic
music brings to you. Take the example of DJ Shadow's new
track. Its cold compared to the more organic sounding stuff
of Endtroducing.

Yeah some of Aphex Twin is warm. Windowlicker (his best, I
know its obvious but it is) makes me think of hot summer
days and not because of the video.

I dunno...Electronic stuff talks more to me about my life
than anything else for some years...

This coming from a sad Smiths Teenage fan is quite
something....

But it's all about keeping your mind open and not just
listening to one type of music - sometime I want mindless
techno bollocks, other times something gentle and other
times pure Jazz..

electronic stuff

BoC is not cold... they sound more organic and "real" then
most guitar bands out there...

depends. sometimes warm, sometimes cold. both are good at
the right times though.

for me...electronic music ist often cold. no emotion and
feelings when it sounds like machines, but there are also
warm feeling music, but for me the " warm" tracks are
rarelier, but it's better

I think it mostly depends on whether melody is used a lot.
www.mp3.com/imaginary is completely electronic but not cold
at all, it's quite happy. Also aphex's RDJ album and come to
daddy aren't cold at all. Also try Sense "a view from a
vulnerable place".

Electronic music (like most kinds) can be very cold, and
sometimes that's just what I want.

But it's far from always cold, as amply demonstrated by BoC,
Mouse on Mars, AFX, 4 hero and others.

I like "cold" music now and then. For instance, that
Autechre track Second Bad Vibel, that's cold and
wonderful...

it does depress me sometimes,
really depressing works can be found when listening to
Scanner.

the world is cold.

warm?
cold?

conditioned"
if you mean that electronic music cant affect our feelings
... GRRRRRRIIINNNGGG... wrong answer.

RDJ's biggest quality IMHO is he warmth of his music..
Autechre's biggest quality is the coldness of theirs..
I love em both
there's time for warmth but there's also time for coldness
with out a decent balance..you are either a gibbering hippy
or a gothy shoegazer..know'wha'am sayin?

Points: 8984 Status: Lurker



i think it's the music that does the warming. if an object
is exposed long enough to certain sound waves, that object
may become warm (particle vibration, hence increased
particle movement implies increase in temperature), with
speed of heating up depending on the amplitude of the sound
waves.

i think, the difference between naturally and electronic
generated music is, you have no limits, you can make it cold
(i just say digital, thin) or warm (analog, fat, good for
landscapes).

yeah pachi, just stay keep on your analog synth in a warm
room, play a key an go with it a cold room, the tune will be
more and more fatter, that's waht i mean. BoC likes to use
this effect... also the old karate and ninja fight movies...

hm... the machines and sounds used are cold. it takes a warm
human to give it all life. but organic music can be just as
cold as electronic music can be.

so then i really didnt have much to add to this thread.
