Guest Ciotera Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I realize that it is hard nowadays to come up with original music - all the good tunes have already been composed by someone else.. but I keep catching myself on the thought that some pretty big names on the scene are shamelessly borrowing from other big names (and more often from smaller but older names).. I don't want to point fingers because then I'll never see an end to hate mail from angry fans.. but it started me thinking that some of this borrowing may be happening on the unconscious level, and that in order to compose original music, one has to sometimes stop listening so much to what other artists have produced.. but is it even possible?

Guest --==MileS==-- Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 There are enough psy examples where groups are heavily borrowing and make it work: Shpongle and World Music, Dark Soho and Heavy Metal, Tim Schuldt/Spies and New Wave, Total Eclipse and Jazz, BotFB and industrial, Chi AD and Gothic (Pathfinder 2001 oehah)... Unfortunately, fishing in the techno pool is far more popular...Artists have to realise that it is very difficult nowadays to release a trancetech hybrid that doesn't sound like the other stuff outthere. Respect for Son Kite (gr8 album) for raising the bar but I don't think there should be hundreds of wannabe's trying to topple that in a strict formula. I hope the future is more Demon Tea than Spiral Trax. NP James Reipas - This is not in fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
