"...You can’t really imagine music without technology. Now, as my friend Danny Hillis the inventor said, technology is the name we give to things that don’t work yet. When it works we don’t call it technology anymore. But you have to remember that once upon a time a violin was technology, once upon a time an organ was technology. Those things were all built and created by people who were working at the cutting edge of the technologies of their time."
Just the start of a fascinating, thought provoking article...
Been listening to a bunch of Eno produced stuff lately, not your run of the mill Talking Heads stuff, but real innovative freak musician stuff. Eno production doesn't lean on tech, but if it's tech that make the sounds then so be it. I guess it isn't tech for tech's sake, but music for musics sake. Lots of acoustic stuff, lots of freak tech stuff.
Remember at one time the bag was new technology.
