I don't know anyone who does or who will. My girlfriend listens to my stuff and whatever I have on when she comes over but no one I know is really into it, and I think its having an adverse effect on my music making. I mean I've been doing it since I was 10 and I've only completed about 8 tracks ever and they all sucked. So I'm also wondering if I'm just fundamentally shit. Tear jerker: I had some AFX coming out of my laptop once when I was still at uni and a few people were "what the fuck is this shit"ing, and a game geek asked me if it was a mash of random computer game sound effects. I'm pretty sad about it knights! |

to much mumbo jumbo in your text for me |

if you don't enjoy making music, don't do it. if you enjoy making music, keep doing it. the only way to improve is by doing. that's all there is to it. the next time someone makes fun of aphex twin, tell them to fuck off and threaten to steal their lunch money. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
also, IDM is so over. start getting into some other music, dude. |
||||||||

I very much enjoy making music, and you know what you said actually made me feel a bit better, thank you. I'm going now to buy another cheap midi interface. |

excellent! good luck. :) |

electronic music is a hard thing to find common in other people. I think its cause many people don't push themselves. Its weird music and that all there is to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Weird? I'd rather refer to it as unorthodox. I think it's weird how satisfied the mainstream is with rehashed music that isn't evolving whatsoever. As for me, I have a few friends into experimental electronic music, a few more who won't go past robert miles/warp brothers/darude mainstream electronica, and many more who hate electronica all together. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why weird? majority is extremly boring though and that brings bad light to all of it unfortunatelly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listen to all sorts of music but I find the majority of mainstream music frustrating in how bland and unimaginitive it is. Although, I think that music can be inherently good/bad no matter what the genre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. majority of every genre is complete crap, it's just that with electronic music there's much more of it because every kid with a computer wants ot be a musician. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, right. sorry, i mixed you up with another musician there. your previous album had that acid intro, i remember now! |
||||||||
|
|

|

if you want to meet 'likeminded' people, go to a gig showcasing an idm-act. simple, depending on where you live though. so the next question is: where do you live? (you don't have to answer. i'm not interested. just trying to keep the convo going...) |
||||||||

The only guy I know only really likes Rubber Johnny, the video part. |
||||||||
|
|

|

completed 8 tracks ever since you were 1O ?? maybe music making is not your thing. or you're 11 now. you're not shit, just different. you belong here ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps he's the kubrick of idm? not everyone needs to be the next vsnares. thank god! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and maybe those 8 tracks will be worth millions someday...you're right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, someday....AFTER HIS DEATH!!!! MUAHAHAHA |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i know 3 who definately do, and a few others who have at least heard of aphex twin and autechre. still not too many though i originally "got" IDM off an old mate from school, he and his girlfriend are definately into all electronica. and my girlfriend has grown to like IDM off me |

I'm a few months off 21 right now. But I'm in the process of slowly putting together a studio. Also, next month Luke Vibert and his chums are doing something here in Australa so I'll see that and socialise a little. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I don't know anyone in real life who enjoys rock music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a shame we didn't live closer together when I was living in sydney, I've been backpacking around australia, and suprisingly I found perth to be the major centre of idm fans/gigs, but that was more likely the circle of friends I was around when I was living there.. just convince yourself you're above everyone else and their crappy music taste, even if its a lie, it'll make you feel better about yourself. |
||||||||

drum n bass junkies 'pendulum' are from perth |
||||||||

I surprisingly found one of my co-worker was listening to squarepusher hardest tunes ! :o |

Its funny. People perceive what they like to listen to as being the most interesting for various reasons. But what you listen to would seem boring to them, and vice versa. That being said, I have heard much more innovative music and production in pop music in the last year, then I have in IDM. It was fresh for a while, but now that there are so many sophisticated audio plugins out there that autoglitch and resonate everything to beautiful richness, it seems that everybody is making the same few songs. That is one of my arguments against software right now. Its homogenizing everything by making certain effects so simple that everybody is doing them. In that kind of a musical environment, there will be nobody to stand out, because everybody is going to be capable of the same kind of music. In this, IDM is no different than trance anymore. |
||||||||

|
|
where in australia are you? i'll be going to one of the vibert gigs, not sure whether it'll be syd or melb yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great! you'd be surprised how many likeminded people there are |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think a lot of people into rock would actually quite like IDM, seeing as a lot of Kraftwerk fans are into heavy rock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rock fans aren't forward compatible. |
||||||||
|

Refund, how have things been? What are you up to nowadays? xf, I'm in Sydney so if you end up going to that one let me know. I agree to an extent about software homogenising music, but it can help people with a limited amount of money/space to learn and create. Also, both hardware and software can produce interesting and creative pieces of music or sound. But I don't really like to argue for one or the other, I don't think that either one is any better or worse than the other. |

I can't afford to go to the vibert gig over here :( hey I just thought, isn't that the kind of thing you wanted me to shout out to you? I'll keep that in mind next time.. and hey, I'm doing linux work for work for the dole! |

most idm sounds a bit out there compared to mainstream music, big mystery! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I meant regular people think its weird music. I don't. Its wonderful music. I couldn't just pop it in the stereo anywhere though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
People over 50 really hate idm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i don't really know anyone who likes any sort of electronic music either, but i don't really care much about it. i have headphones. people may think i'm weird for listening to boards of canada and aphex twin, and i can think people weird for listening to whatever they listen to, and that's fine with me. for example, one of my friends listens to the used and blink 182, and i abolutely don't like any of it, but i don't think she's any less of a person just because of that fact. just that she has terrible taste in music. |

not true! my geography teacher once noticed my Warp shirt and ensued a long conversation about autechre, aphex and plaid. he must be at least 50 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? At the autechre show here I saw lots of men around 50. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, that would've been great! i wish i had a Warp shirt to wear around *mutters* Need a credit card, gotta buy Warp t-shirt, need a credit card.... my geography teacher was a total fuckwit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think older people dont mind some of the more ambient IDM - BoC and the tamer aphex and autechre. but barely anyone old likes drill-and-bass etc. my parents cant stand mu-ziq or squarepusher |
