People have built their lives around the nuum and then he makes us listen to a load of good music that doesn't give a fuck about it!
We feel unsettled, unmoored. Leaderless, for a moment. But ultimately grateful
Also this is not true really, if anything i have built my life around atonality and dissonance in music.
Part of why funky never really blew me away, whereas wobble dubstep did at the time. But I only really realised this on here, that generally speaking what people want from electronic music is to avoid austerity. But I think that austerity was the last truly modernistic thing in electronic music.
It's why when it comes to deep tech I like the stuff which sounds like grime boys making minimal with chest rattlin' bass and skunk paranoia.
With barty it was always more studied, which I completely get cos he's a proper musician. He could quite convincingly argue that what I'm looking for in music isn't musical per se, and hence I cannot recognise his future, and he'd be right.
