ok, so im doing a paper about subcultures in electronic music, and im using the IDM "scene" as an example, so i figured if you guys could fill out this survey the best you can (i know some of the questions seem silly, but bear with me) itd give me a lot more to go on. How many years have you been listening to electronic music? How many years have you been listening to IDM? Who do you consider to be integral artists to consider when describing IDM? Who do you consider to be the most popular IDM artists? What are some of the genres you believe IDM incorporates? What are some of the musical qualities you believe IDM incorporates? Do you believe there are any geographical “hot spots” from which IDM originated? What do you believe constitutes IDM fashion? Do you believe media coverage has significantly affected IDM, musically or otherwise? And finally, do you make music, electronic or otherwise? thanks, mangs |

Around 4 years precisely. Around 4 years precisely. Boards Of Canada and Aphex Twin, as far as the "Intelligent" part goes. "" Intelligent Drum 'n' Bass, Synth Pop, and Cut Up. Quicker, faster paced drum programming, and powerful, synthesized hooks and melodies. There are many, but most known to me are the United Kingdom and underground indipendant music scenes of the United Sates. Minimal design and nice colors. :) Yes. Commercials tend to use catchy synthesized based tunes now-a-days, falling into the IDM category, thus helping promote the style. I try. |

Hope this helps, [B123] |

How many years have you been listening to electronic music? About 14 years, with a hiatus of around 4 years in the middle where I was into guitar music. How many years have you been listening to IDM? 6-7 recently, with about 2-3 years worth when I was much younger (listening in my elder brother's room to early 90s warp stuff) Who do you consider to be integral artists to consider when describing IDM? Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Plaid. Who do you consider to be the most popular IDM artists? Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada. What are some of the genres you believe IDM incorporates? I'd say IDM was more of a group of genres than a genre in itself. There are certainly fashions regarding genres within IDM, for example, a few years ago it was fashionable to do ragga/jungle inspired idm. What are some of the musical qualities you believe IDM incorporates? Being very very precise with your sound. It's almost as if production is deemed more important than melody/rhythm. Lots of short precise drum sounds, vintage analogue synth basslines. Typically few/no vocals. Do you believe there are any geographical “hot spots” from which IDM originated? The UK. The Belgians must be credited for some of its success though. "God bless R & S" What do you believe constitutes IDM fashion? Not really a fashion amongst people who listen to it. That's part of what I like about the "scene". I've met people at parties and had no idea they were into IDM until I got talking to them about music. You couldn't usually say the same for, say, hip hop or rock music. Do you believe media coverage has significantly affected IDM, musically or otherwise? I think it being played on TV in adverts has helped. As has Radiohead doing IDM-lite. And finally, do you make music, electronic or otherwise? Yes. Lots of different sorts, IDM, Ambient, Minimal Techno, Trip Hop. |

What are some of the genres you believe IDM incorporates? A lot of genres goes into IDM territory - techno, electro, ambient, drum & bass, glitch - but none of these are directly subgenres of IDM, in my opinion. |

How many years have you been listening to electronic music? > i can't tell... i got my first electronic music album maybe seven years from now, but that's a rough guess. i'm not sure at all. i wasn't listening to a lot of music at the time anyway. How many years have you been listening to IDM? > since the release of drukQs... judging from the liner notes, that makes it 5 years from now. Who do you consider to be integral artists to consider when describing IDM? > Aphex Twin is the most integral, probably. Autechre is pretty essential too... Who do you consider to be the most popular IDM artists? > Aphex Twin (of course), Boards of Canada, Autechre, Squarepusher, Plaid... Venetian Snares... and the Future Sound Of London (if they're considered idm - i'm not sure about that). What are some of the genres you believe IDM incorporates? > there's "drill'n'bass" surely... then i guess "acid", "drum'n'bass", "glitch"... maybe some kinds of techno and ambient too... What are some of the musical qualities you believe IDM incorporates? > an experimental/original quality, principally. and for some people, maybe getting "hyper" on some really fast and apparently complex/messed up beats; that would explain Venetian Snares' success. but i think lately idm has been losing its originality, doing too mu - and i'm less interested in it than i was some years ago... Do you believe there are any geographical “hot spots” from which IDM originated? > i don't know at all. What do you believe constitutes IDM fashion? > i don't think there is any "idm fashion" - i can't think of any clothes or attitude specifically related to idm (apart from Aphex Twin t-shirts for example but that's another story)... and it's not a bad thing. Do you believe media coverage has significantly affected IDM, musically or otherwise? > yes. Aphex Twin is really well-known now, and so are the other most well-known artists from the Warp label... And finally, do you make music, electronic or othe |
