 |

I was just browsing on the Sonar website (the stupendously good electronic music/art festival in Barcelona) and discovered that they apparently held a festival at the Seoul arts complex from the 12th to the 18th of this month. I'm absolutely gutted to have only found out about this now.
Did anybody know about this being on? How was it? Why oh why did nobody make a post about it?

Whoa!
I'm just as disappointed as you!
I'm so starved for some forward thinking / cutting edge electronic music living here. Just when you think nothing of that nature ever happens here and have given up hope... you see this.
Even though it sucks to have missed it, thanks for announcing it here... it gives me some hope that something may come around in the future.
To add salt to the wound... i found a 36 second clip from the event on YouTube:

| Cutting edge electronic music...Excuse my ignorance, but hasn't electronic music stopped being cutting edge for quite some time? I mean, it's been a long time since the creation of "Musique concr�te" and Louis and Bebe Barron's experiments with a ring modulator. To put it frankly, it is no longer any more experimental than any other mainstream musical genre. |

The fact that something is made with electronic devices does not make it cutting edge anymore. It all depends on what somebody is doing with the devices and what kind of output they are making. There are people on the cutting edge of anything and everything. There always has been. I'm sure there are people on the cutting edge of mosaic design, kite surfing, scientific imaging, banjo playing and even electronic music.
It is also true that some electronic music is actually on the cutting edge of music as a whole. The things going on in the electro-acoustic communities and research labs (Ircam etc.) are fairly cutting edge, people doing algorithm or cellular automata based music composition, physical modelling, people designing new instruments and interfaces etc. The majority of them are using electronic devices to do this stuff and I think these and many other activities can be classified as cutting edge.
Oh yeah...I found out today that Resfest is happening in Seoul this December. I'll start another post about it later.

You missed my point if that's what you think. The previous poster seems to get what I was going at. Mainstream electronic music just isn't the cat's ass. |
