Define ''electronic music''.

Techno? Synthpop? Musique concrete? Hip hop? Vaporwave?
>>
>>60777142
What are you talking about? What do you mean by electronic?

>>60777142
How is gold panda awful?
>>
>>60777157
>>60777188
this niggas think they're above the rest because they know "electronic" is an umbrella term. Wow, I tip my fedora to you, oh knowledge masters!
>>
>>60777142
Compared to which era of electronic music?
>>
b-but OPN
>>
>>60777872
Are you going to answer the question then or do you literally mean everything made with electronic instruments?

>>60777142
But it's the only true pioneering field of music.

>being this mad because he's an ignorant piece of shit

ayy
>>
>>60777142
if you are looking at tumblr shit like gold panda etc...

its the only form of popular music thats still exciting to me. and i think the advance of technologies and how fast electronic music technologies of the past date makes it so its always fresh or even old stuff (ben zimmermans baltika years) sounds so singular. the format of guitars, vocals, and drums is so played out.

I'm not OP you dingleberry

post your favorite "electronic" albums

The Moog.

It's been a while.

I'm all for it.


Now create a better Synth.
>>
>>60778085
i would much rather an aks synthi or a serge animal over an old moog
>>
>>60778085

the Prophet-V exists

Moogs are overpriced, overrated garbage. The "moog sound" can be achieved on almost any other well made, good quality synth (which, the Moog in no doubt is).

Prophet-V is a much more versatile, fuller sounding synth. Capable of many more sounds and still retaining the phatness.

Wendy Carlos - Beauty in the Beast
David Borden - Migration
Karlheinz Stockhausen - Kontakte

>>60778121

While Moog's and P5's are great, subtractive synthesis is bascally pleb-tier shit for simple people at this point. Everything's already been done, it's like a Les Paul with a Marshall amp.

FM is super-powerful and dirt cheap, but because idiots are all 'muh anal logs' it's basically a whole untapped spectrum. Same with Granular and Additive, and I'm sure if anyone bothered to think about it, we could probably coax decent sounds out of ROMplers.

EDM is garbage, prove me wrong because you simply can't.
>>
>>60778491
do you know anything about the album? its not her 60s/70s shit. this came out in the 80s using all digital synths primarily the Synergy digital keyboard. Dont talk shit if you're that ignorant.
>>
>>60778469
>Wendy Carlos - Beauty in the Beast
except theres a moog dual vco in the back cover of that wendy carlos album so yea....
>>
>>60778529
