Re: [microsound] influence vs. replica

[soren-microsound@xxxxxxxxxx]

I think alot of this has to do with our backgrounds.  You probably
started off making music with electronics/computers, that sort of
thing...I started off in school.  I've been way overexposed to what has
been done without computers/electronics and I wanted something
different.  After spending many years writing all of my music by hand I
started using computers to compose and discovered that I could achieve
what I was trying to do in the past much more easily and with more
attention to detail.  

What I find most interesting about electronic/computer music is that the
technology can be used to create anything.  From pop to classical to
..microsound to [insert label], they all can fall under the same
roof...thus the crossover between classical music to pop/underground
("vernacular" music according to academia) has a space in
electronic/computer music.


I'm here somewhat to escape/expand the classical world, I assume many of you
are here to escape/expand the, uh, non-classical world...


In here is where we find the convergence...

Yup.
