About the only descriptive terms you can use in looking at such stripped
down works is driving, delicate, dark or light, And thats actually pushing
it in my opinion.
It's a good thing you're not a reviews editor! ;)

Well, assuming I know what you mean, I would say yes, that's why I think
our
music is a historical moment. Seriously, can you listen to Marco Carolo's
"danger" and identify, let alone relate, to his true emotion and reasoning
behind that work? About the only descriptive terms you can use in looking
at such stripped down works is driving, delicate, dark or light, And thats
actually pushing it in my opinion. Take this Danger track I previously
mentioned, I tend to feel uplifted by it, but others feel angered by it.
Also because of it's repetition and raw construct, I tend to hear
toneshifts
that fluctuate in only minor/major shifts, while someone else may hear an
entirely different and complex pattern. So not only is stripped Techno
pivotal in that it gives the audience the same importance, if not more,
than
the artist who created the peice, but it also becomes a unique song/track
to
each individual. We don't need to know the aspirations behind the track,
in
fact if we knew the motivation of Marco, we would then be forever corrupted
in listening to it, we would forever be bogging ourselves down with trying
to "see" and "understand" his pain/joy behind it, and we are often way
wrong
in doing that. I remember being at a opening for a painter here in
Cleveland, and he laughed at the people trying to figure out what he felt,
he told me it simply looked pleasing, yes there is emotion, but it was
_his_
emotion, not the viewers...
