I didn't make that up I found it in some random interview.
I found the link to it on this message board but I have no
idea where it was.
it's been in my aol profile for a long time(the quote that
is) I like it.
All you need is a computer and brain power to make good
music.

I rather call it fucking ambitious music.

U must be "a fucking stupid nerd" spending 3 weeks on a
hihat.

It aint got nothing to do with intelligence, its just that
some peoples got a short attention span. I am too lazy to
sit 10 hours a day working on the same beat, and yes it aint
hard to make drill n base or glitchy ae stuff but it
definitly takes time, believe me.

So I want to call it ANM wich stands for

ambitious nerd music

hehe....now did I hurt your feelings ;)

Archrival: thats the dumbest thing ive heard! if a person
wants to spend a few weeks tweeking a sound LET THEM!!
gosh...so if a person does that that makes them a nerd?? i
think that makes them more artistic than someone using
presets. i hate that attitude on the whole nerd thing.
call autechre nerds! thats cause what they are i guess.
who gives a care. nerds rule if they wanna tweek something
for weeks. let them. autechre rule

period

I am a fucking nerd, so I know what im talking about, so u
just shut up.

I also admire one of the best "ambitious nerd muscicians" in
the world none other than Aphex Twin. In a interview with
Luke Vibert he said that RDJ was a little to ambitious
spending like 3 months on a drum loop. THATS WHAT I CALL
some fucking ambitious, dedicated music making!!!!! I aint
that dedicated (im still a nerd tho, hanging here 24 hour a
day) I creat dope ass music tho (not godly music as aphex
tho) nah mean.

I admire RDJ for his heart and passion. U can hear that he
puts in a lot of work nah mean. Just listen to Ziggomatic
v17??? did that track take time to do Or FUCKING what!?

yeah I was a little sarcastic too, but anyway.

much time on something. i thought you thought that was
dumb..didn't see

presets is fucking out of question, WHAT do u think!? Now
go back to your room and play with that NRJ dance music
station or whatever they call it...

"if a person wants to spend a few weeks tweeking a sound LET
THEM!!" HELL YEAH, thats why I admire RDJ for christ sake,
hes dedicated plus he got MAD TALENT and he DEFINITLY takes
his time...creating some of the best music ever....

"presets is fucking out of question, WHAT do u think!? Now

station or whatever they call it..." this was not aimed at u
Amonburne, it was aimed against suckers.

and I really hate the sad term "IDM" its so cocky and silly,
intelligent WHAT!!!?? yeah I love this type of music to
death, but theres some fucking crazy symhponic rock (wich I
HATE) that are mad hard to create if u aint a top
muscician....so dump that intelligent shit.

tell my friends what it actually stood for lol. i think we
ought to call it something else

Amon: on the subject of white paintings, try browsing the
web on "Kazimir Malevich" and on the subject of other
monochrome paintings, try "Yves Klein."

2 maybe 3 points I'd like to make.
1) I went along quite happy and oblivious thinking IDM
meant Industrial dance music. And there is such a thing as
Industrial techno, so it can't be a bad thing I suppose,
like killing two birds with one stone. Sure enough I did
sit looking at it for a long time without the foggiest idea
of what it meant but that is by the by I guess.
2) I was wondering this a while back now. I used to have
heaps of tapes with mixes on them the majority of which said
things like good mix, voice mix, shit mix etc but I had
allot of Oldschool mix. So if there was old School then
there was?... whatever Basically is IDM the new cool?
3) Finally! This is where I want to go off in a bit of a
strop. My friend was heavily into computers AND music
(listening to )
We used to sit and listen together and he made this point
"you know it's funny but I don't hear this music as you do"
me "Why"
him " because I have all the knowledge of how it's made in
my head "
" oh yes, but does that mean it's better for you?"
He just smiled back.
The obvious example would be feeling nostalgic for samples
from games. But I like to believe it runs deeper than this.
I am right aren't I?

Sorry can you ignore point two. IT was one of those AH ?????

for a split secong then vanishes in a puff of smoke. I
shouldn't even of tried.
IFG =;} stands for I feel good.
IFS =;{ stands for I feel shit.
