This is true, everything recorded is a snapshot of something that already happened.

I don't really know what the dynamic is like in other places regarding creating electronic music but this is how allot of us think about it. Agree with it or not it has produced some interesting results.

yeah its same round here, we all bounce off each other, we keep an eye on whats going on elsewhere, but not necessarily influenced by it.

yes it did produce some interesting results, theres no doubt about it bro.

If you guys don't believe me than try coming up with a concept first and a subject matter that has nothing to do with music, make the music to fit the idea in your head and then present it in a way people will understand. It's a hell of allot easier to just make a track with sounds that you've heard in other techno records, slap a piece of art on a label that has nothing to do with the track and sell it. People are bored right now because that's all they're getting. I wouldn't pay for that sh!t either. Lets all be honest with eachother here for a second, for somebody that has been a trained live musician just throwing together tracks that sound like other techno tracks is easy as hell, we all know it. But the thing allot of people can't do is make the leap of logic it took to make it in the first place. That's how innovation happens within and outside of a genre and that's how it will continue to happen.

this is the same way most of the art work are conceived, especially the abstract one...great words man...

I think sometimes we are not conscious of our influences.

I think sometimes we are not conscious of our influences. We have probably been picking up influences our whole lives without knowing it!
