I can't say for sure, being a bit of a classical music buff myself, if Bach could have invented Techno music. Although, I have a theory that a lot of electronic music, at least mine, follows in the same flow and structure but not in melodies. The concept of a DJ has changed vigorously, especially in the last five years. Now, a Disc Jockey, can accomplish anything as a result of technological advances in musical instruments. Are electronic instruments real instruments? Yes. If Beethoven was alive today, he could probably write in music terminology "echo" "flanger" etc and all these things can be accomplished with real instruments including a chorus. The whole point of an electronic instrument is that we have all these musical powers at the touch of a button. Therefore, with the right equipment, a DJ is a real musician. I think we just have to accept the facts, it's true what deadmau5 says, but not all DJ's or electronic musicians use Ableton and such software. Also, the use of samples, the reason Daft Punk are not DJ's and are musicians? With samples becoming more acceptable in the music world, we are going to see a smaller gap between what is a real musician and a DJ. | ||
