for me the best definition ive heard about our music was New Tones. its good , while IDM, known as Independent Dsnce Music does not include artists like Steve Reich , szkieve , susumu yokota , and many others.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
electronica is my favourite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
doesn't IDM stand for "intelligent dance music?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm also partial to the term 'electronica' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

ill say it again, idm was based off of journalism, NOT style. thats why you get autechre and plaid lumped together. its because they are both on warp, even though style wise they are very different. so now every magazine likes to make connections. then they made connections with lesser known labels. so now you have everyone spouting off how so and so is just a rip off of bigger warp acts. arovane sounds like autechre, etc. when i really dont even think that. its not a definition of sound. its built on label association. sure they share similarities, but you could pin similarities down for lots of things. all in all, i dont care. the people who whine about the name care too much. its like so what if it has a pompous name title? i could argue that "alternative rock" has one too. i never expect genres to make sense literally, so why do people want this? its fighting a losing battle. |

|
i usually using 'electronica'..... i don't care much about genres (i'm stuck in definition) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.....all that terms like idm, drill'n'bass, electroclash,drum'n'bass made by journalists |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think the right answer that just covers it all is "it doesn't really matter that much" |

from afxfaq: A:11b "What is 'braindance'?" According to the Rephlex Records Web site (http://www.rephlex.com/): "When Rephlex started in 1991 people said that the type of music we released was called 'techno.' People always say that 'things aren't what they used to be.' Well, the same could be said for techno. "As the years progressed, the media invented more and more terms to describe the various sub-genres of music ('intellegent happy hardcore,' 'psychedelic handbag,' 'progressive bluntcore,' 'uplifting trance,' etc.). To be honest with you this made us confused about how we fit into the dance spectrum. So we decided to invent 'braindance,' a genre that encompasses all known genres -- to make things simpler. "Braindance is not so much a style of music but a way of life. It's a bit hard to explain, but if you buy all our releases you should have a better grasp of the concept." |

the idm label belongs with the sad cliquey people who hang out in record shops nodding their heads up & down all day and grunting 'yeah sgreat' every 3 seconds wearing wooly hats and sunglasses when its dark |

electronic music works quite well. and I wouldn't put Reich under that definition- he uses electronica, but it is just part of the full range of instruments he uses - in other words, electronica is just as important as any other instrument, no less but certainly no more. |

Keeeeeeeviiiiin!!! |
||||||||
|

|
|
the point is - im making site right now, we will have musicians on it , and we are thinking what we shoul dput on main page .... IDM site ? New Tones ? Electronica ? simple word music is not enough here....i also dont care about stickers on music styles , but the NAME could be usefull as a simple and short description os music from my site. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it depends on what kind of music is on your site. if its all electronic, electronica could do the job. "new tones" to me reeks as much of bullshit as "idm" - I would have no idea what you would mean by it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about "electronic music" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Always thought that IDM was a fairly cringe worthy / patronising term (who came up with it anyway, tired music hacks?) to categorise our favoured bands/music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but some part of this music is not electronic - thats the problem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i agree "electronic music" is probably the best term (perhaps slap on "experimental" as well in some cases but not all, to make a distinction between it and club-type dance music?) |
||||||||
|
|

Dumbest acronym ever. Downright embarrasing to explain an electronic virgin. The I part, and the D part. So I generally just call it ''electronic'', and if they assume I mean Moby and Fatboy Slim... then fuck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
electronic music is the way to go if you ask me, it easily encapsulates all the labels and what not and its gets the point across to people who want to know "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS NOISE" |

New Tones? That's pretty stupid sounding to me. IDM is a pretty generic term, as well. Electronic music or what Ganymede said works just fine for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know, IDM is fine with me....I just take the term as more listening oriented then dance-floor filler. |

im going to try and copy this poem i wrote about idm into here... it represents what I believe idm is. ________________________________ Its Deceived Me, Intellectually Devising Maniacal Intricacies, Deviating, Monstrous Instruments of Discolored Mercy. Its Disfigured, Mechanical, Infinitely Destructive and Minimal, I Discovered Many Intricate Details, My Insides Desired More. Inverted De-evolutions Manifesting Incredible Diversions, Moving Itself Downward, Making Individuals Destroy Masses. I Didn't Move, Inquiring Deeply >> My Instantly Distraught Mind. It's Developed Many Interesting Divisions of Music, Moving Into Different Means, Ideas, Discoveries, Monstrosities. IDM Doesn't Mean: Intelligent Dance Music... It Describes Music's Incredible Diversity. Individuals Destroying Masses? Intelligent Dance Music? I Then Saw My Universe's Soul: Individual Creation. ITS MUSIC. |

it's as good as any otherr if you think about it. |

not really because "intelligent" "dance" and "music" already have meaning in english. If you interpret it as the meaningless sound symbols they really are, it works as an arbritrary name, but even then there's 7 syllables when "smuf" is an adequate unused english word with merely 1 syllable. Even if we used this word people would be too stupid to collectively create a single definition anyway. |
