Based on a discussion in another thread I thought this would prove interesting its something my teacher showed to the class in music history class. I really liked it.

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Seen it. Neat doco.

Nice Post

Sometimes I wish I could have been a part of the dance music scene then. Things seem so lame to me now. Instead of hardware synths, turntables, and vinyl we have VSTs and MP3s. Yay! What amazing technological wonders we have. We can turn "virtual" knobs on a screen. We can download two hundred vaporous gigabytes of music and then never listen to most of it, because tracks are as common as dirt and about as valuable. We can go out to clubs and hear the latest compressed-to-fuck tune with a fun riff that will be forgotten inside two months. What fun.

I think I should have been born in 1970 or so.

Do they mention Basement Jaxx here? If not I don't want to see it. ^_^

+1 Imagine taking your latest track to a big vinyl cutting shop having them pay you $500 for it and then overnight being the next house sensation part of a movement must have been exiting.

Sounds so much more exciting than having an MP3 uploaded to some digidownload site.

Maybe that's just me, though.

I know having little tracks for sale online is no where near as exiting as i thought it might be still when someone buys one it does feel nice.
