i think my inner idm is dead

IDM, dark music, ambient music, composed music, composted music, etc. it's boring the fuck out of me lately. It doesn't feel nourishing or interesting anymore.

I like to go to church and hear people sing things like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuLXTOS3r5s

They're so magnificent and full and beautiful playing their voices and instruments. It brings me to tears.

I feel like what's his name going to testicular cancer groups to cry.

Sufi dance and music:

Hindu music:

I also dig bluegrass jam sessions and Maynard James Keenan's stuff.

almost all the big names (watmm subforum names) are producing nice, but bland fings these days. i feel bad slagging it because of the size of their "back catalog" but that's also why i find it so upsetting.

fuck trance....

just take a break from it. i went really off idm for a long time, and explored indie rock, post-rock, post-metal, and prog, then eventually got back into electronic music. i just really burned myself out i guess. i was writing a lot of electronic stuff as well as listening so it just kinda got stale. now my electronic music is finally starting to have some character, at least i think so anyway.

mis-quoted but still valid

How can you say you're bored of IDM?

Do you not think that's a bit of a generalization?

LOL IDM? the guy doesn't even like composed music.

IDM is dead, long live IDM

personally I'm getting into the more minimalist organic stuff like Loscil and Keith Fullerton Whitman but then again maybe I'm turning into a boring old fart but hey that VHShead album is the shit

this is magic

this is the trance, not trance music

you just need to hear better music

holy music

this is holy music

Happycase, you're a fuckwit and no one cares.

well that pretty much every answer you could ask for

you just don't know / are not aware of the good stuff.

then again i think you see creation and strict, structured composition as an ego related thing? and that it's less pure or enlightened than something pre-real or something.. i don't know. i disagree with this hierarchical thinking. i think it's relevant to our own experience here to see these sophisticated expressions.

you need to explain why you think liking/finding interesting/being nourished by composed music is linked to being deep in a trance.

my duc gave me a cd called "anti depressant music" of gospel, country, and blues but i think he forgot to burn it or he accidently burned the kind of CD that can't play on stereos.

trance cool, idms on the decline since many years, let all speak there minds

I have already offered the remedy to any idm deficiency in our lives.
