technicians vs musicians in the techno world

[morbid]

It doesn't matter a bit in electronic music

Any idiot can programme a synth, tweak some knobs, click some pretty red lights on a sequencer

I was thinking about this over a wee doob...



Not really. The only knowledge you need to make music is the knowledge you have already for yourself and other people (possibly space cadets - i don't know). so what if we think it's shit?

the thing is everyone listens to music in a different way and therefor cannot really compare anyone to anyone - as it is said - cue cliche - "one man's shite is another mans sugar"

but don't get me wrong - i think beatport is utterly boring.

and then speak to a technician, they will tell you half of what they do is art (i.e compression) and half science.

in a way, technicians need to know how to be musical in some sort of way, if they are to transcend the ideas of artists accurately.
