142700, RE: imcvspl's Deep Thoughts: Electronic music is the Jazz of our era Posted by ajiav, Tue Mar-02-10 10:32 AM
I believe I agree with the premise. I'm thinking of it in terms of the way it has revolutionized form, structure, etc., which I think equates with "composition."
Your exchange with inpulse mentions performance, and I would ask whether you think the DJ represents a correlating revolution in performance? Is it holding electronic music to a unnatural standard to expect that it should develop to be performed in a manner more consistent with that of previous era?
