"Scratch 1
The line between electronic and live music is unbroken. The forms may appear
impressively distinct but they are organized around the same act: playing a
musical instrument (a keyboard, drum pads, so on). In electronic music --
which finds its most popular moment in the '70s, German band Kraftwerk -- a
musician plays a musical instrument and is concerned about, for instance,
the key he/she is playing in. This is not the case with hiphop. Hiphop is
organized around the act of replaying music; and it is this act, replaying,
that marks the real rupture in the mode or method of production."
