Looking for musical inspiration?

Nothing about nothing opinions are just opinions.

I like minimal, I pretty much like everything but scouse house, which is born of the devils codpiece.
I have no final word, my judgement on something is just my judgement. I think as adults we can disagree and still get on, it is allowed.

I don`t like anchovies.

Anchovies phucking suck.

surely it's better to say that you don't like something rather than say it's shit?

I apologise for te offence I have caused.

i don't see what the fuss is about..i thought the tracks were extremely bland. after reading the story i expected some influence from the isolation and environment he put himself in. i didn't hear it, not even minimally (excuse the pun).

yes this is an opinion, but i think it's probably shared. does anyone on here disagree? if so, what makes the tracks interesting? where's the canadian wilderness in them?

When you can actually hear or feel an influence in something, it generally doesn't have to be mentioned in pre-hype to the album. Honestly, it was the hype that completely turned me off to even bother listening. Kids with laptops touring the country while convenient and chasing fame in the process was the same thing as the beat generation as described in On the Road? No, not at all. Unlike the people in the story told in On the Road, this guy with his tent, laptop and hype around his record had a direction he was taking that he already knew, which seems to be more about sales than exploration, and it's now in the exploitation-towards-sales phase.

Obviously, as it's on minus...

ah, Ok, I think I know the answer here.. you've only heard the 2 trax that made it onto the vinyl, not the 10 trax that were the digital release.. it's the digital release that you really need to check, as that's where the gems really are.....

and I think the whole canadian wilderness thing is all a bit tounge in cheek to be honest....

fair enough.

also fair enough...but actually the idea is interesting to me. there isn't much electronic "dance" music (outside some 90s ambient) that has been genuinely inspired by non-urban surroundings. done right, it might be something. that's what i was anticipating after reading the press release and did not get from the two linked tracks.

I think maybe there is more than you realise, as many people don't really talk about their influences or don't get asked the right questions when interviewed, myself, I've been definitely influenced through travelling through non urban surroundings, in fact am right now sat in the middle of the english countryside.. and I've been making music here, so it's been influenced by these surroundings for sure...

[Technologic]

fair enough.

Dude, there's heaps of stuff, damn, there's entire genres in de Jungle where it's Tribal lol.

I'm liking "I'm not it". Incredibly low ended spookiness!

[SlavikSvensk]

since electronic music is so wide open, i'm interested in stuff that can make me think of seasons, environments, etc. beyond the usual "nighttime in the city" vibe. would love to hear the stuff you're working on...does the music evoke those surroundings? does the sound itself make listeners think of those surroundings.

plastikman "sheet one" is a good example of what i'm talking about, though it's more "urban/suburban winter" than wilderness in that case. the album makes a whole lot more sense when you've driven across eastern michigan and southern ontario in january.

the word "genuinely" might be important to note
