this came up a week ago, and i've - from time to time - been wondering about
it myself aswell.
i don't see any major changes coming in the near future, then again would it
be called something revolutionary if it could be foreseen? what i do think
is that people are once again taking matters more and more into their own
hands. look at mr. hawtin starting to do his own re-edits that he can play
using final-scratch. this is not new, ron hardy and other dj's used to make
re-edits all the time, they on the otherhand didn't have final-scratch, so
they played it off tape!
but i think this creative process has been neglected the past 10 to 15
years. so maybe now someone sits at home, takes one of his favorite records
out, turns on his computer, and makes his own edit, that he can burn to cd,
and play the same night.
so maybe there's more room for creativity right now, which in turn will
probably lead to whole new things. [with 'more room for creativity' i mean,
that it's easier available to a larger group; there's always been enough
room to use your creativity ofcourse, but maybe that these new technologies
will open peoples eyes, to more posibilities]
don't know how many people are also on the deephousepage.com message board,
but i had to share this: take a look at the bruce forrest thread! this guy
played with 3 turntables, a sampler, effects and his own re-edits about 20
years ago!!! and i used to think hawtin and mills using drumcomputers and
efx were the future...
