Re: autechre/richard devine or A Treatise on How to Steal Effectively



Ripping off others is simply a form of evolution. As much as you would like,
you cannot correctly emulate another artist because of the complexities of
systems, situations and emotions at a specific timeframe in that artists
work. The failure however should not be seen as a failure, but rather as a
"mutation" event leading to another tier of musical evolution in an ongoing
superstructure.

Innovation/originality vs. emulation/ripping-off are terms of reference that
really only work when applied to rock criticism. They have absolutely no
place in the world of microsound or systems music.

I say good on you. Keep the process flowing, keep stealing, keep evolving,
keep mutating.
