RE: Music: Pioneers of Electronic Music
Agree :) Just this morning I was reading from some oldtimer DJ why the sync button is not used by the other oldtimers... His statement: Use the time not doing the technicals to add more creativity to the music. He showed a lot of scratching using the sync button between the records. Guess this is also way different from the traditional way of creating a set. With time comes change. With time we forget about the past :)
Yes, today we have a button for everything - and even thats virtual on a screen mostly. And everything is automatic: auto tune, auto sync, auto whatever.
On the other hand, all that has made music production much more affordable. In the 70s, a selection of synths as people like Klaus Schulze or Vangelis or so had, cost as much as a nice house. So for most people it was only a dream to make such music.
Yeah, everything have up- and downsides :) I still know artists who spend the equivalent of the value of a house to equip their studio, mostly those who are darn good in what they do, the pure musicians regardless of their taste in music, or mine for that matter :)
