Time again for some perspective in this forum...
Orchestral music ranges from Beethoven's 9th to the occupant of the bottom rung of the talent-ladder from Hell of 'You Know Who'"s imitators; they both score/d for orchestra; but what an immeasurable difference... And may I also mention the almost immeasurable amount of composers that fill the void in between?
Same goes for electronic music. I'm sick and tired of people referring to electronic music as the domain of "creative DJs" and so-called "sound designers", "producers", whatever, who buy the truly illustrious Omnisphere and because they tweak a couple of knobs which change the sounds they delude themselves into believing they're creative??!! If you think you know anything about synthesis start from a raw sine wave in Csound or a simple sample and impress me without using other people's algorithms; that's exactly what all those composters are doing with those ready-made orchestral chunks on the other side of the spectrum. They use their mouse-riding index finger to trigger already sequenced aptly orchestrated blocks and just put them together with maybe an asinine "melodic" line of their own on top of other people's work; bravo!... bravo!... What invention!... Same with those insignificants that lay down a beat slightly filtered and keep adding loops (even their own - who cares really...), and by twisting a knob every few seconds, or drawing automation (you need a Ph.D for that) they create musical modulation, i.e. interest... bravo again.... I wonder do any of these people have any idea what real inventive electronic music sounds like? What uncharted vistas of sonic universes are possible? Would they have heard the names of Xenakis, Lansky, the work at IRCAM, etc.?
As long as we know what we are talking about maybe we can get somewhere in a discussion, so long as people broaden their academic horizons a little and learn how to apply nomenclature. Yes, the quirky, "cool" score of the Faecebook film was electronic music as there were no acoustic instruments involved, but let's not taint that enormous and important musical genre by elevating such basic, puerile and marginal works as representatives of that genre; we might as well refer to Giacchino's Star Trek soundtrack as a token example of 'Classical Music' because a live orchestra was employed...
Perspective!
P.S.: Yes, a lot of us hate the 'Z''s music, but I don't think we hate him specifically, as a person. However, I hate his imitators more (pilferers), and most of all, the directors that hire them and keep them from immediately starving in the anti-Darwinian fight for "survival of the unfittest" (actual destroyers of culture).
