Didgeridrongo said: unless you're performing. no. but they're still musicians if they perform. so. are they musicians? I dont think he'd be interested in continuing this conversation 4 years later. Still, I wonder what he would have thought of the electronic pioneers known as a Kraftwerk. |
| I don't understand this. How is someone creating new music electronically less of a musician than someone covering old songs with a physical instrument? |
BULLY! |
| Say this to the fathers of the eletronic music, the Kraftwerk. |
| u dont know much about music do you |
  |
| come on guys, 2018 already we shouldnt wasted tsukomi on this outdated pattern of thought |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| smh people be reviving this thread, OP if you're still alive I hope you realized how dumb you were after realizing Brian Eno exists (heck I can name-drop more but I'm still a pleb with the Electronic genre) |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| I make electronic music and I purely disagree with this dude. Computer turns into a musical instrument once you start composing. |
 |
| Hollywood celebrities who get paid millions to mumble gibberish into a microphone and autotune it are even less of musicians than people who make electronic music, at least some electronic music is good. |
 |
| What type of ignorant comment is this? So, the people who are musicians and make music on a computer are not musicians? So technology advancement instead of traditional are not musicians? You seriously have it wrong on this topic! |
| As someone who hates all electronic music, I wholeheartedly agree with OP. I know that a lot of people here will disagree with that statement, but not everyone is into the same thing. |
 |
| A perfect example of 'no true Scotsman' logical fallacy. Also, OP seems to act like 'musician' is some sort of a noble title that automatically signifies skill, knowledge and virtues of its owner. |
Seiya said: As someone who hates all electronic music, I wholeheartedly agree with OP. I know that a lot of people here will disagree with that statement, but not everyone is into the same thing. It's not a matter of agreeing or not, it's just that OP's statement is flat out wrong. He's grossly mistaking musician and instrumentalist. You can very well be a musician without playing any physical instrument. |
 |
| so if us producers arent musicians then what are we supposed to be? programmers? obviously making music makes you a musician regardless of what instrument you play, hell i'd even consider DAWs to be instruments |

| who bumped this thread? electronic music still has a composing element to it, so no ur wrong. now trap music, that's really stretching the definition of "musician" |
 Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places But we're trash, you and me We're the litter on the breeze We're the lovers on the streets Just trash, me and you It's in everything we do It's in everything we do |

John-Wayne said: Musicians play real musical instruments, not computers. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. This is an actual sentence, screenshot this masterpiece if you want. I bet your ass $1000 that this kid hasn't even touched a DAW in his life, or simply doesn't have enough talent, time or skill to do so. As much as I hate to even be replying to Mr. Einstein here; I still would wanna ask you: What if the producer does play actual instruments, alongside of composing? Still not a musician? Because I know a lot of people who can do that... Skrillex, Charlie Puth, KSHMR,. And many other big producers out there who can play. Just to add, I'd rather listen to songs with piano notes, heavy bass, guitar strings, unique drum percussions, etc. all playing the same time, with mastered quality than to listen to a Mozart's piano collection.

| By extension, composers that don't actively perform their own compositions aren't musicians either, because they're just making other people from an orchestra play the music for them, much in the same way that MIDI is just sheet music for the computer. |

There were real musicians on that recording. The Roland CR-78 isn't the same as using a computer, because it works in a similar principle as someone playing a synthesizer. |

I don't listen to music recorded from 1990 to present. I didn't grow up with it. I grew up playing my Grandparents old LPs and 45s that were laying around the house, and I ignored all modern music. While I listened to a little bit of 70s & 80s, the majority of the music I listened to was from the 50s and 60s. |

| I'm sorry but that's flat out wrong. Music is still technically being produced, albeit using software as opposed to tangible instruments. And creating good electronic music does require effort btw. Just listen to the layered soundscapes of Trent Reznor's work for example. |
Take care of yourself |
| Trent Reznor is amazing |

| that's as bull *** as saying people who use Illustration programs can't be artist which is BS because i would like to see you try to make what they make. this song was originally made on the computer but has a variant that used real instruments. so by your logic these are both music and not music. |

| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| I produce music using a voicebank on my computer, and I create the instrumental using real instruments. I can not sing myself so I use the voicebank of people like Kagamine Len, Hatsune Miku which is made using the voices of different people. |
| People make this stupid assertions only to stir up hate, attract attention, and sound edgy. They don't really don't care or understand that much about music. It's more of a hormonal thing. Sorry 4 necro tho. |

| It doesn't matter if you're using a MIDI and your laptop to make beats, or conducting an orchestra, making any kind of music requires both talent and knowledge related to music theory. It may look easy, but it's a lot harder than s*itposting on a forum. And John Wayne was a racist & a hack. |

| I am personally not against electronic music, i have some songs that i like from this genre BUT BUT I am totally against electronic music "Concerts". Like, the purpose of a concert is that of seeing your favourite artist playing LIVE. I don't get how a electronic music artist can play live their most popular songs or whatever. |

Like, the purpose of a concert is that of seeing your favourite artist playing LIVE. I don't get how a electronic music artist can play live their most popular songs or whatever. I can agree with this to some extent. I mean, a lot of popular EDM artists just pump their fists in the air or whatever while trying to look busy, but they're not really doing anything too important. In the same vein, a lot of DJs are essentially just a bunch of glorified radios; however, especially in stuff like the techno scene, the artist engages a lot more with their tracks, and arranges and improvises things on the spot, much like a conductor who directs a musical composition. Some DJs are also pretty good at making their playlist go on forever without stop, while aligning beats, making smooth seamless transitions between the tracks, manipulating the volume, crossfaders, etc. I think electronic music artists can be worth going to when they're very active and engaged in the tracks they're playing, and I also think some DJs deserve respect, but I wouldn't really be too interested in seeing people like Kygo or Aviici "perform" live... |
| Yes, i totally agree with you. It's just funny how tens of thousands of people just gather around to jump together to some playback music :D If you want to do that you would be better off doing some kangoo jump at the gym :D If that music in the link is really yours, then i must say it sounds good. It feels like some avantgarde jazz, i guess |
