Japanese Technology Shaped Dance Music – Attack Magazine
- jim-jim-jim 5y agoWithout setting out to do so, I've managed to fill my music room (not talented enough to call it a studio) exclusively with Japanese gear. I don't know if it's the cost, the genre associations, or if the stuff is just plain better, but I'm infinitely more interested in Korg/Roland than the likes of Moog, Sequential, EMS, etc. I credit Korg in particular with making analog accessible again. I wouldn't trade my MS-20 mini for anything.
- kaichanvong 5y agoits exciting to think collaborations involving less-or-more diverse music for people to discover! I love radios for this because of the genre diversities it gives listeners. From reading the Chris Moyles auto-biography I found a topic this fascinating. From Daft-Punk to Fatboy-Slim and more!
- dynamite-ready 5y agoWhen I read the title, I think of Ryuchi Sakamoto. I'm no musician, or musical historian, but that man is a genius in a similar way to Mozart, or Scott Joplin.
