i disagree... look at ppl like autechre, u-ziq, haujobb, boards of canada,
aphex twin, etc... these people are really advancing electronic music IMO.
and they're "only" pop musicians. but the thing is, most of them are using
their computers to do it... most of the music hardware these days is doing
one of two things, refining rompler/sampler tech or trying to achieve that
"vintage" sound... i mean, we of all people shouldn't be talking about
advancing music technology... heck, we're still using patchcords! ∗laugh∗
this may be heresy to say here, but the sound ∗we're∗ chasing has very
little to do with advancements in music. i ∗love∗ my MOTM, and i can make
some seriously "advanced" sounds with it... but if i wanted to make
autechre/haujobb-level "advanced" music, only things like csound and
max/msp would do...
okay... sorry, this is getting way off topic.
