and now, I am posting why your statements here >>5234 are correct and my reasons that this world isn´t actually that cold in the digital age.
>>5234 >I do agree that most remixing is nothing to brag about and even when it has a bit of effort can feel hollow, it can be a work of art on it's own merit. >it's not wub wub dubstep and electronic house dance beats I can enjoy it sometimes. I am quoting both lines of yours because what I am bringing up here...is dubstep. Apologize me Bridgefag but it´s actually dubstep, just that Skrillex and company weren´t the actual creators of it, just that they popularized a derivative (brostep) take of it by making it energetic and aggressive.
Seeing the comment of Skrillex´s videos, I have seen accounts with Pony avatars that actually caught the attention from bronies, so this explains why there was so much popularity for Vinyl Scratch and the genre...in misunderstood ways about their origins. It´s ironic but the same genre that I despised before by saying that electronic music isn´t real music...has made me change my mind and even bring hope/inspiration that the person behind the songs is the key element that brings those elements together and making them artistic.
Dubstep isn´t what you nor the average person would think it is at first glance, nor it does come from the USA. It actually came from the UK during the 90s and especially the mid 2000s in the underground scenes (especially in London) and there were several tags for it: UK garage, 2-step and...future garage. This is where one of my main inspirations come when I have into account for these edits: Burial.
What´s so special about him? The fact that the samples weren´t always consistent, the slicing seems perfect but it´s actually manual, so there are fractions of a second or even layers/noises that make it organic and imperfect yet so steady. What´s even more surprising is that he used a precarious program in his own house and he combined everything by adjusting the maximums and minimums from the peaks of sound,so the results come from a visual perspective from the program and not simply because of the sound that one would check by listening to it. He´s self taught and not even a musician that tours out there.
What´s even more revolutionary is that the music didn´t sound as consistent as the average electronic song from that era and the isolated atmosphere presented here actually conveyed those intended feelings yet what you can feel is absolutely abstract. I meant that technology could be a cold medium for expressing something but after discovering this rec from /mu/ and a spanish youtuber, I consider that reaching that warmth and the transmission of feelings behind the screen are actually possible to accomplish
