joshuatxuk Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Really neat design and I agree with some of the major circles (Aphex Twin of course) but then shortly after seeing Morton Subotnick so damn big for no reason I looked closer and started to SMH relentlessly.

joshuatxuk Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Techno, house, electro and drum n' bass luminaries are too small or absent. David Guetta and Deadmau5 shouldn't be on there. Nor should Singh either, he's great but he didn't influence anyone since he was only discovered out of obscurity decades after putting music out.

Zephyr_Nova Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 What does the curved dead end mean, and what does the straight dead end mean? Did LFO have no influences? That chart needs a better key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regurgitated opinions form the basis of /mu/ taste charts and listacles. It's getting so out of hand that new artists and bands are in turn sticking only to trendy influences of the past.

TubularCorporation Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Where's Frank Zappa, the most widely heard musique concrete artist of all time? I didn't see Negativland, either. Or Emergency Broadcast Network. Hell, where's Ned Lagin? If this is supposed to be about the history of electronic music you'd think the first person to do major live performances with microcomputers would make the cut since that's, you know, of historic significance. Silver Apples but no 50 Foot Hose. White Noise but no United States Of America. These aren't obscure artists or anything, they're some of the key figures in electronic music's transition from academic to popular. Those are all rhetorical questions of course. This chart is microbloggers smelling their own farts. EDIT: also I might have missed some things because there's only so long I want to stare at that thing, with all due respect to jushuatx's original post I think it's ugly as fuck, strains the eyes and hardly communicates the information it's trying to communicate.

joshuatxuk Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Who the fuck is Morton Subotnick? Isn't that the guy out of A-ha? Or the baddie from Sonic? I knew his name reminded me of someone else! He's important, so is Pierre Schaeffer, but it's absurd they are emphasized over others. It's just for convenience I guess. Some many still missing: Bruce Haack, Bebe and Louis Barron, Raymond Scott, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubularCorporation Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Oh, maybe I missed him but I didn't see Mario Davidovsky in there. Though to be fair, he stopped working with synthesizers in the early 70s and maintained that everything possible in electronic music had already been done by then. But he's still as important as Morton Subotnick. Oh, and I didn't see Pauline Oliveros in there, either. The fuck is up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
