why do you say theres nothing organic about minimal techno ?BlueFog wrote:healing music is organic; there's nothing organic about minimal techno since it's almost always intended for clubs/dancing. however, what i find 'healing' is the process of making it. its an escape from reality and it makes you feel better.

Listening to it can get really close to meditation for me.
And that's the kind of feeling I look for when producing in the studio as well. Not always easy to get into the "zone", but definitely possible.
I'm also believing that being in the "zone" is really the most important aspect of making music for me.
It's more about the process than the final result (that doesn't mean not putting energy into finishing your tracks...
If the process has the right flow, the result appears in front of you with almost no effort.
It's more about the journey than the final destination.
absolutely, everything we do is organic, man-made is as natural as anything else in the universe.AVX23 wrote:Agreed, and just to add - I think in a way, anything synthesized still has it's own organic quality being as it's created by organic life-forms.
Man made, isn't strictly un-natural, we did utilise organic laws and relationships to make it.
Depends of course on your outlook
yes and no. My mind has learned to work in a strange way to produce music so I would say it made me smarter. The problem is this knowledge does not transfer into the rest of my life and the time I spend thinking about the music decreases the knowledge I amy gain in other aspects.hydrogen wrote:Quick question... Do you guys think that making minimal or listening to minimal has actually made you less intelligent? sometimes i feel like the trance inducing rhythms actually dulls the mind, or just takes it to another dimension and you never come back. Not really sure how to explain other than that...

But the music is more fun and kinda like therapy for me so I don't mind it dumbing down other aspects.
My other vise is politics which is the same way. I am mass informed and active in pol;itics and it turns me off from many things I would normaly enjoy in life.
Sometimes I think it would be nice to be one of those people that just floats around in life taking everything for it's face value and absorbing it all without entrenching yourself in specifics.
