Re: [microsound] Death of electronic music

[billy <glitchkitten@xxxxxxxxx>]

this would mean

- making conscious choices as to one's acoustic and electonic 
instruments

- in a solo situation, avoiding this "dsp'd to death" thing that has 
been mentioned, in this context, I mean using the acoustic instrument 
as a signifier, while letting one's electronics simply makes cool 
noises out of this signifier.

- in a group situation, knowing one's limits as a musician, (for 
instance, that an electronic player can easily just turn it up in order 
make his/herself heard, as opposed to performing a compelling moment or 
series of moments), basically, know yr instrument

- be a musician, not a programmer (duh there is programming involved, 
but i am always a musician _first_)

- content over appearance

personally AvS, i feel that "doing it well" is self explanatory.

what "doing it well" is varies from ears to ears - I may not like one 
musician "doing it well" but I should be able to hear how "well it is 
done"

if an artist does not know "doing it well" in context of their own or 
someone else's work, they are not working, or watching, or listening, 
hard enough.
