acoustic crap is always out of tune, out of time and played poorly

classical musicians are drones without an ounce of creativity in writing

composers should want their music
played in key,
with perfect harmony,
in perfect time


not mucking about with some sloppy orchestra that wanders all over the place

we are pushing into the future and dragging the rest of the world kicking an screaming along with us

in drum machines we trust!
can you imagine what acoustic musicians think of us? ;)

That's why ricardo villalobos music fascinates me so much. He makes collide both electronic and acoustic music in his records with such beauty yet keeping it so simple. Sounding so organic but staying electronic. I love it!! Now i just need more stuff like his last release on cadenza.

Another idiot post from Android, I think John Cage would have something to say about your conceptions of what classical or even music is.

If we are being led into the future by someone wearing those glasses, I'll gladly find solace in the past.


Only thing you are pushing is sh!t.

name calling what a nice rebuttal...


acoustic instruments are constantly going out of tune

even worse, are ones played without frets

classical musicians are irrelevant in the modern world



I'd much rather have a huge soundsystem

rather then a sloppy orchestra slowing down and speeding up


I'd much rather listen to Switched on Bach

then some chump plunking a harpsichord

did you ever consider that you might be kind of missing the point with all that? like there are people who read beckett and think its sh!t, but its not cause it is sh!t.

we have over come the problems of Amplification and Tuning

why perpetuate such poor standards?

why regress ?


we dont live in caves anymore for a reason
