I have to admit my mouth is somewhat agape from this sort of tunnel vision.

While digital media will certainly continue to flourish, I disagree that there is an 'aesthetic' that is specific to digital media. With your argument intact, a guitarist who does nothing but release digital files of their acoustic work exists outside of the 'digital vacuum', but the aesthetic of the music doesn't change (perhaps in some cases it might if we were arguing live vs. recorded).

I'm not so sure a discussion of aesthetics even includes the presence of 1 & 0's or an analog signal.

no artist can exist in a digital vacuum.

it's an inescapable aesthetic.

well, they could... provided they are sampled, treated, and

regardless of the source material (in the case of bagpipes and
acoustic
guitars) or the end media (in the case of analogue vinyl), the
aesthetic
advancement and Future of all immaterial art (particularly audio
and visual
art) resides in computer and digital technology. period.

the acoustic guitar and the bagpipes will never stop being made

they are relevant to the Future of music.

IMHO, as long as there will be DJ's, there will be vinyl. There's
certainly a huge trend for DJ's to use laptops/traktor and a
combination of iPods and CDs, but plenty of them love the feel and
design of vinyl. As a DJ I know I prefer spinning vinyl over
anything
else, especially as a physical thing. For me, playing vinyl is
playing an instrument, and nowhere close to doing the same thing
with
digital media.
