Tech VS. Nature

Well, maybe the title is a bit over top but today I will write about so called Acoustic and Electronic music....

To make this clear, I`ve never played an electronical instrument on stage or so but I`ve played with many musicians who played electronic instruments, to be honest I never liked electronic music too much ( until recently ). It was partly because it sounded to rough and metally to me and partly because I used to be a so called Musical Purist ( don`t recommend you to be that ) and hated everything that is electronic.

Now, keyboards ( synthesizers ) have changed the way most of the music sounds. Not just in pop and rock music but also in jazz and experimental music, even world music.

I am not here to judge if this was good or bad but it did have a profound effect on music.
If the landmark of jazz in the 60s was Kind of Blue; a slow, acoustic, jazzy recording
only a few years later Bitches Brew came along and electrified everyone:) the fans and the critics.

Lets remind ourselves how it sounds like

Obviously this was just the beggining of electronic music in jazz.

These days I can just open a computer program and make a track, sing autotune on top of it a sell millions of records. This Is Worrying!!
Electronic music is fun and entertaining but we shouldn`t mix it with artistry...

Do you think electronics made music better?

P.S
Just to end this post I would like to share with you my version of Ain`t no Sunshine!
