[kj] OT Electronic: Yes or No

[Paul Wady]

Robert Fripp played the Union Chapel in London over 10 years ago as a charity gig, sitting there with his Gibson and a great big stack of equipment.  It made his guitar sound like various synths and he set up his loops to sound like anything but the instrument he played.  So...?   Then he put it down, sat at the back and listened to the loops.  He finally got to attend one of his own shows.  That's synths for you?

'All this machinery making modern music can still be open hearted. Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty, yeah, your honesty. One likes to believe in the freedom of music - but glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity' as with anything else fed off of by such a large industry. 


Taht was all a quote from here, btw.

Trick question, especially to 'Purists' out there: can we / do we consider electric guitars as electronic?
~~bah, yr just muddying the waters! the context of the question was not in doubt!



 

 Why or why not? besides the latent guitars=macho / keyboards="bitch"-girly subcontext.

 ~~as in the smiths / goldie???

A discussion evolved in another thread that got me curious as to where everyone stands on "electronic" music.  Granted the definition can get cloudy and the genres are quite varied, but, where do Gatherers stand?  Ambient, Glitch, Trance, Minimal, Shite?  What do you like/hate and why/why not?
