this isnt a topic about the name IDM. im just using it as the familiar term here what is the "IDM sound", as someone called it in another thread... obviously its very emotional... but whatelse? is it kind of a raw sound? would something that is produced well, and sounds very smooth still be the IDM sound? i dont know... |

3 beats and a beep? |
||||||||
|
|

I would describe the idm sound as a sourt of abstract and experimental electronic music, often eclectic, and sometimes with classical/orchestral roots |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but is there a certain sound quality production wise? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i'de say that with idm, sound quality is sometimes not really of the essence, and mabey the occasional bad quality adds the overall effect |
||||||||

non-pop? :) ummm, I guess it's hard to classify... BoC, and Autechre both qualify don't they, and they are totally different from each other... |

i dont believe there is an 'idm sound' |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
but, you can hear a song, and you know if it is IDM or not so it obviously has a sound |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I dunno, if I think some electronic music is intelligent I'll classify it as IDM... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I never use the term idm when I'm describing this type of music to people, I just use it here because everyone knows what your refering to... I prefer abstract electonic music, as it goes by in the record store I frequent |

like i said, im not discussing the title weve already gone through 9423423 threads about it, and how no one really uses it |

I know |

big rock guitars and epic choruses |

If it doesn't fit anywhere else, then it's IDM. |

IDM is the sound of Sean's brain waves. |
||||||||

I have finally figured it out! All must bow before me |
||||||||
|

idm isnt always emotional..... its not abstract always, and doesnt noise also count as abstract? sound quality is the essense? thats nonsence, all music can me in any sound quality non-pop.....lots of music is non pop! so to answer the original question...i dont know :) |

are you kidding! as long as 2 tracks like Gantz Graf and then Blue Calx exist in the same genre, an "idm" sound is 99.9% arbitrary - the rest is the fact that they all mostly use computers. IMHO. but then there's "idm" artists like req who just sequence w/ computers and acutally produce their own noises and such... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
breakbeat electro with little details, percussion-sequencing experiments that's what I think of when I hear "IDM"... I don't think it's very different from some of Kraftwerk's music. |
||||||||

hmmmmmmmmm. electronic music assembled/sequenced on computres for the pure listening enjoyment through the medium of headphones/loud speakers. |
