1. Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music 2024-11-11

   tags: engine/flash, history, instrument/drum-machine, instrument/synthesizer, music/electro

   [ permalink ]

   This guide favors authenticity over accuracy, and it aims to entertain before it informs. It is only as accurate as it feels it needs to be. It is constantly changing and it is infinitely mutable, so the map, the music, and my self-righteous opinions are all subject to change as I discover, investigate, and incorporate new knowledge and more music. Nothing is definitive.

   Go exploring. Listen and learn about music you don't know anything about.

    [ permalink ]
