Decapod: Future Music? | Sputnikmusic

YetAnotherBrick 07.08.11	interesting question. hopefully all of our favorite genres will still be around/being played by talented musicians keeping our favorite formulas alive but still switching it up a bit. of course, i love really crazy/experimental music, too. and i guess, (stereotypically, maybe) the music of 2100 and beyond will be like, SUPER crazy with a bunch of bleep bloops and electric harmonicas n shit
Chrisjon89 07.08.11	"Will it sound like merciless farting over monotonous beats?" I live in hope. Maybe they'll do away with the concept of a beat or rhythm and just go for gold.
YetAnotherBrick 07.08.11	yeah, beats are overrated.
YetAnotherBrick 07.08.11	oh, and lol at 9
Decapod 07.08.11	oh, and lol at 9 ? Its a great album... No lol'ing out loud!
Butkuiss 07.08.11	Lol at 9 [2].
sifFlammable 07.08.11	The Future Sound of London could be a great reference point
scissorlocked 07.08.11	9 with beats and Bono
Wolfhorde 07.08.11	[Irony] It's not like there are still bands around that make music like people from thousand or more years ago.[/Irony] Apart from that, I highly doubt that the future is a shitload filled with crap.
dimsim3478 07.08.11	Lots of jazz, like in "Cowboy Bebop".
SpiritCrusher2 07.08.11	hopefully every band will sound like gorguts' obscura
omnipanzer 07.08.11	New instruments and sounds will be created based on new technology and it will combine with current genres and sub-genres to make even newer sub-genres with occasional new genres being created.
fsharptrit0ne 07.08.11	soo like blackened dubcore ^-^
omnipanzer 07.08.11	Rock, Electronica and all of their sub-genres would be the most obvious examples I could come up with.
fsharptrit0ne 07.08.11	It would be interesting if in 100 years something like classical came back into the foray.
conradtao 07.08.11	Purity Ring.
omnipanzer 07.08.11	tbh "fsharptrit0ne" I don't think it has ever really gone away it just has a lot more competition. Realistically most film orchestration could be considered classical and we listen to it all the time. Conrad probably has far more fully developed thoughts on this topic.
fsharptrit0ne 07.08.11	I know what you mean, but what if it was considered popular music in 100 years. Not gonna happen but js
conradtao 07.08.11	"Realistically most film orchestration could be considered classical and we listen to it all the time." cough splutter cough blech retch vomit
omnipanzer 07.08.11	"cough splutter cough blech retch vomit" I deferred to you damn it.
conradtao 07.08.11	In all seriousness, I don't think we'll ever go back to what people consider "classical music" as being "popular". If you listen to music in the "classical" realm being written today, it's certainly steeped in 18th/19th-century tradition but also audibly moving forward into a new era...presenters just aren't willing to program the stuff. No one person is to blame for this; it's just what has happened. Who knows what the music of the future will be like? I sincerely wonder if anybody will be listening to what we consider "music" in a hundred years.
omnipanzer 07.08.11	We listen to what was considered music hundreds of years ago it just isn't a major form of entertainment any more.
Hyperion1001 07.08.11	I've toyed with the idea of us completely running out of the ability to create original and unique music. I mean there are only so many ways to arrange the musical notes we have....
conradtao 07.08.11	"We listen to what was considered music hundreds of years ago it just isn't a major form of entertainment any more." Interesting hypothesis. Although as listening becomes a more interactive experience I wonder if it'll be "just" an aural experience - perhaps music will become something much more sensory.
deathofasalesman 07.08.11	Glassjaw - Coloring Book
wabbit 07.08.11	" Although as listening becomes a more interactive experience I wonder if it'll be "just" an aural experience - perhaps music will become something much more sensory." I imagine it will be. We have drastically increased our ability to manipulate "sound" (not referring directly to what we can "hear" but the whole thing) in the past 100 years yet music hasn't really adopted any of these changes and in a rudimentary sense remains essentially identical to what it was 400 years ago (Boards of Canada is the only thing I have really heard that is "different" in how you listen to it). So I imagine in the next century it will incorporate these changes and be a more whole body experience...or it could just stay the same and suck.
