Re: [microsound] maths science and electronic music

[Tyler Adams <tadams@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I certainly think that aesthetics are grossly overlooked in electronic
music.  When we talk of a piece of music, the technology, the process, or
the idea always take precedence over the aesthetics.  Sometimes aesthetics
aren't addressed at all because the composer chooses to focus entirely
upon process or concept.

That said, I don?t think that we can speak of aesthetics without also
discussing the 'scientific' aspects (process, structure, technology)
behind the composition, particularly with electronic music, which is by
its very definition a hybrid of science and art.

I would be more interested in a discussion on the aesthetics of electronic
music.  why are aesthetics seldom discussed?  do aesthetic principles
exist for electronic music?  if so, what are they?
