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.

   I’m more and more convinced that staging environments are like mocks - at best a pale imitation of the genuine article and the worst form of confirmation bias.

   It’s still better than having nothing - but “works in staging” is only one step better than “works on my machine”.
