I'd like to bring something up here.

The style of music that I love to make I have had no luck finding elsewhere. I like really really melodic stuff with clean beats formulaic

Now, apparantely my last name is French and I would imagine I also have a French background.


The other night I came up with a theory that people are more likely to get into music that comes from artists of their own background.

When I was listening to the radio the other day I heard this artist who was French and I really related to that music. It was exactly the same as mine.

I'm right into 'Air' who surprise surprise, just happen to be Frenchies.

Why do you always need to bump your threads for no reason whatsoever, especially when you don't have anything to add for the thread? If you don't get replies, you just don't get replies.. i doubt bumping threads doesn't make your chances that much better.

For the subject.. hmm, i do like some Finnish artists alot, like Jori Hulkkonen, Beetseekers, Beat Pusher, Syna, Imatran Voima,.. but i think overall my taste in music goes allover the globe pretty equally, maybe a bit more concentrating on the British soil or at least it used to.

I wasnt doing that in this case. I was saying que because i didnt know what "light the fuse" meant by "stretching it" ;)

thanks for your input too :)

You didn't know what he meant after 3 1/2 weeks? Nice to know you take so long to think before each post.

I think it's absolutely fascinating and that maybe you need to take a few years and devote yourself solely to the study of your theory and absolutely nothing else (including both eating and posting on TA), and then get back to us with your results!

From the scientific side of things, its not your ethnicity or your biological background that directly forces you to prefer some genres in comparison to others, but the upbringing and the early acoustic environment.It was demonstrated that baby monkeys who were exposed to specific sound frequencies had enlarged areas of their auditory cortex, areas that were known to respond to these specific sound frequencies.This means that the early brain is "tuned" and "organised" in accordance to the early environmental soundscape.As a result, if you were exposed to some specific sound-textures when you were a child, chances are that you are going to like similar textures when you are older. Ofcourse nothing is completely deterministic, and they are always random multiple variables (society,personality) that shape preferences and the subjective aesthetics of each individual. The mind (the function of the brain) is a dynamic (and not static) entity which is almost always found between law and chaos. Some music preferences may have just resulted from "happen-stance" type random factors.

Here is a thread that has a documentary on techno (which is a very good watch for anyone else who hasn't seen it).

I remember at one point Juan Atkins or Derrick May talks about how their environment influenced the way they produced (I.E. - Being from Detroit which is known for it's machine/industrial business; therefore creating music that mimiced "machines" or that sound).

I'm sure it's the same for the music you listen to too.
