The future of music will move forward in new ways almost unimaginable.

After physical instruments, we used electronic instruments.

When the age of electronic instruments has left us (and they may not happen for thousands of years) we will move onto new technology.

Taking a shot in the dark I'd say it would be something that transcends the mere senses and begins to entertain the psyche of people. Perhaps via intuitive aspects of reality?

we haven't scratched the surface of interactive art. very shortly it will be the norm, including in music.

also speedcore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRfqwfYwT2U&feature=related

>>30902
no way is that better than the original, its just daft punk with the distorted bass drum 4x4 that is in every hardstyle song ever. i hope that music will mature beyond that.

but, dark steering is actually my least favorite from ufabulum, it was just the only track i could find on youtube :/

>>30903
awesome

>>30904
you reminded me of the "scent organ" from brave new world. maybe music will not provide as much of a thrill for people of the future, so there will be more interaction with the other senses (assuming people haven't transcended their senses entirely). but i like to think of every piece of music as a mathematical puzzle, there is something so satisfying about hearing how every voice moves from tension to resolution.

i guess it is possibly that people could outgrow even that. for the most part, i think music is starting to mimic biology more and more. even well respected composers now subscribe to the minimalist philosophy. long chord progressions can be cool, but there are elements of music like drone and timbral modulation that our current set of music theory doesn't deem as all that important. With the advent of fractal geometry, we are starting to understand that the most stable, complex structures are made up of unbelievably simple components, and i think that our music is starting to reflect this.

>>30906
How about the Mood Organ from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Looking at music/technology development realistically, what will happen is that the instruments probably won't change too much because of Mind-Computer Interfaces. If you can just do it all with your mind there isn't much point to an instrument.

I'm honestly surprised to hear that Dark Steering is your least favourite track. Track 2-5 are absolute shite, but after the Metallurgist kicks in the rest of the album becomes a fucking monster. That's the thing with Squarepusher, he hasn't got one consistently good album. 'Music Is...' an absolute amazing album, but it's not like much he's done before, so you can never quite pin down what his sound it. Half of his output are absolute bangers and the rest is quite self indulgent (which I have no problem with).

I remember I got to see him later last year. He didn't play Ufabulum (well, not all of it anyway) but he was using the backdrop and helmet. I was tripping so fucking hard all I could see was Issac Clark dropping the beats like a mad cunt. Once I had Dead Space on the mind the backdrop patterns started looking like Necromorphs. Shits scary man. Can;t wait to see the whole damned thing at Bloc.

Back on topic a little though, I think over the next 5-10 years Squarepusher is going to be seen a lot more in a commercial context and get noticed a lot more. And fair fucking play if he does.

Ufabulum can almost be seen as the massive climax to all those hectic drums and retro synths he was so fond of in the past. It's the first floor built on the foundations he's been working on since 'Feed Me Weird Things'.

Mark my fucking words people, this cunt is the future of modern music. And I'll be glad.

Square-push-er, with all the different styles of drum-and-bass...

If IDM/experimental is "future music", and most mainstream electronic artists are working their asses off to produce this shit, I would be able to say I have truly lived through a golden age.

I think psychology will play a huge role in music in the near future, only a few decades I'd say. Inducing seizures, causing orgasm, forcing feels to surface in a more effective way than using words.
Looking forward to some crazy motherfucker to do it. Maybe I should do it.

Recently listened to Confield by Autechre. Closest thing to "futuristic" music I can think of.

>>30901

I think Carbon Based Life Forms use subliminals in their music...
So did the game Endorfun, there was a moral panic when that came out, how dare they try and make people fell good about themselves! Perfectly OK to use subliminals to advertise bank loans in children's cartoons, of course.
And then there's that crazy guy who made the Love Shack OS and the Worm++ programming language, he was trying to rewrite his DNA and become a god or something...

>>31254

I'll start with capturing the cause of that pumped feel good spine tingle that you get when the good guy makes a comeback.

It's doubtful that pop music will ever change much. The timbres will modulate over the years, but the harmonies and melodies and lyrical themes will continue to be recycled. The themes of sex and stupidity will likely continue to become more overt as the old moralizers die of old age (good, they ought to die, or at least change their minds) and intellectuals continue to lose influence with the youth of society (fuck that shit). The current trends in alternative music will likely continue for a short while, then fade as they cling to some other thing to distinguish it from pop, a pattern which will repeat repeatedly, while the genre(s) never really stray TOO far from pop, as if they do, they intrinsically become, not alternative, but some new niche genre like punk or idm, some sterilized element of which will eventually be co-opted by pop as is currently happening with dubstep.

Real music (art music) will probably continue the centuries-old march from pure consonance (unison) to pure dissonance (noise) until a mere 12 notes per octave is completely unheard of. Currents of minimalism and detournement will probably continue. Perhaps at some point the progression will reverse once it can go no further and head back toward something like Mediaeval chants, perhaps not. As has been touched on already, "music" as a distinct form of art will, at some point, likely fade away, as will all others, and multimedia will become the norm.

In the near future, I expect something like this, only more extreme, and probably containing more digital instruments in most cases, to be one type of music being produced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PynbhqRlsbc

>>31257

I understand the whole concept of throwing many different genres into one piece, but good god, this was just jerky, awkward, and horribly pretentious. This could be cool if executed better.

>>30901

Or both?

Or both, but in a different way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yztoaNakKok

>>30901
I imagine music will be more strongly correlated with certain tones and frequencies that evoke certain emotions.
You will hear a song that is specifically meant (and designed) to produce a feeling of euphoria.

>>31257
I don't see how any one could talk out of their ass any better than you.

>>31250
If none of you have listened to this album you haven't experienced 'the future'.

>>30901
Also Autechre in their entire catalog.

>>31253
They'll only be considered classic in the sense that a car over a certain age is classic. They won't be given the reverence we give to the geniuses and pioneers of music. See the way our culture has broken down into fads? When you think of disco, you probably have a vague idea in your head of the genre, a few bands, and maybe you have respect for their talents and what they contributed to music. Because that was another strong reinvention period, like any other stage in music over the past few decades.
Now, however, our mainstream music has entered a new stage that no longer is conducive for the churning out of original material--everything is borrowed, mixed, diluted. People will look fondly on Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, but more as simply names in a great big list of musicians that were part of the mindless commercial-pop phase of mainstream music. No intellectual music critic looks at Bieber's creations with any kind of reverence, and likely never will. He's all about the image, and that will be his legacy.

I think we'll continue to see mainstream music using the image as their biggest selling point. There will always be bands doing things better and more poignantly outside the spectrum the majority knows of. But, I feel in a few decades we'll make a big enough shift culturally to start appreciating music of substance again. I think most conceivable sounds we can create are already possible and availably at our disposal with computers, so the future's music will probably more reflect the emergent global culture, with influences like World music mixing with advanced and more stunning forms of electronic music crafted specifically to stimulate the brain in different ways, with constantly more creative instrumentation,
What a high fucking ramble all that was.

this needs to be brought back to the top

>>30901
Hell no. Rock will never die, instrumental music shouldn't die.
I love rock, I love it from the bottom of my heart and I hope there will always be amazing bands out there making music like queens of the stone age and foo fighters.

Personally I think that future music will still use human voice as an instrument; with this in mind I feel as though music of the future will be less like dubstep (though that is not to say that something like it will not resurface) and more akin to artists like Gorillaz or Little Dragon. These artists hybridize multiple forms of music into cohesive albums.

Musicians will always seek inspiration from things that have come before, but previously this was limited by the speed at which ideas can be transferred. This can be seen by the melding of musical styles by geographically close cultures, now that the internet can transmit information from one side of the earth to the other in under a second musicians are free to draw inspiration from distant cultures at will.

I apologize for the wall of text.

tl;dr future music won't sound like what we think sounds "futuristic" and will sound much more like what we have now, just mixed in ways we have not thought of.

death grips and squarepusher are the shit! nice taste in music guys. ive actually never been more grateful for a music group than death grips, theyre revolutionizing music imo.

New genres will arise, and it is unlikely that we can even predict them--for if we were to come up with them, they wouldn't be the future's sounds anymore, they'd be sounds of the present.
Old genres will stay. Classical music has survived for hundreds of years and will likely last hundreds more. Other major genres, like rock and jazz and country and electronic, will also stay, but the sound of new music will deviate from what it is now.
There will also be many subgenres of the major genres. They will come and go with the passage of time.

Of course, I have other, less "nothing-will-change-too-much" pseudo-predictions. For example, the remix culture could take the music world by storm, and we could enter and age where everyone is a musician, creating music from samples or virtual instruments using free and easy-to-use software and sharing it on the web. This could lead to two things: one, a world where there is so much mediocre and bad music that the good music rarely ever sees any recognition, never is even heard by many people at all, while the mediocre music that appeals to the most people gets popular (why make a thing that 100 people love when I can make something that 1,000 people just like, etc. etc.). Or two, it could lead to a world where people hear so much shit that they learn to tune it out, and when they find something that is truly exceptional, they share it with like-minded people and we get a web filled with circles of taste, competing to make and celebrate the best of the music that appeals to their tastes.

I don't really know what the future holds, but I hope it hold good things and great music.

The future is here.

101 strings tried to predict what music in 2001 would sound like in 1968. Though the album is fucking awesome it's completely wrong. Futurism is kind of stupid imo. The futurists architects were wrong too. Modernism can't even keep up with the present let alone the future...

Music will become much more of an overall visual/interactive experience. It will be more like the musican is programming a sytem which you can explore. Almost like generative art. Also this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfF14UgBYn4

Brandt Brauer Frick are doing some pretty interesting things with acoustic dance music. its this type of creativity and experimentation with the technical methods of production that will come about, also crossovers between genres.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31af6B0Dwpg

Alternative notation and composition methods and techniques. This is a program called noteworks. Admittedly, this kind of thing is in its infancy, but this could pave the way for some really cool interactive musical applications.

last one is the most "musical".

for some reason I imagine classical music

I'm a huge classical music buff. I would absolutely love to see a revival in interest of the old classics. But I'm quite optimistic about the future of music technology. If we can create music that can tap into the inner psyche and create an intense emotional experience using something like subtle binaural beats, I would be absolutely amazed. Music is, was, and forever shall be my main source of entertainment and comfort and I am absolutely ecstatic to see what the future holds in that regard.

I feel like in the future people will realize that aesthetics are more important than technical complexity in music, so I think in the future we can expect a lot of ambient/soundscape/minimalist/drone/noize stuff. Also there will probably still be a lot of EDM as we know it now, just because that stuff is pretty much tailor made to sound good to the ear and be energetic.

>>32536

> in the future people will realize that aesthetics are more important than technical complexity in music

totally agree, and actually I would say that that is where we are right now. Music today is not as "complex" as a lot of classical pieces, but we focus on things like arrangement, layering (timbre), and things like that which make "simple" melodies have a real distinctive voice. I think it is very true that things like a long held note over some relatively simple chords can have more emotional impact than a 50 piece orchestra playing some insanely intricate sonata or something.

What I do disagree with is the prevalence of EDM, or at least I hope that there will be less of it in the future. Don't get me wrong, it is usually very pleasing to the ear, but I have listened to a LOT of it, and I think I am coming to realize that aside from a few prolific artists who are pushing the boundaries, most subgenres of EDM are totally defined by a few synth presets. Like, when someone even mentions "deep house", I just know I am in for some sine-wave organ bass playing the offbeats. Or even things like "future garage" or "that original kind of dubstep", 9.5/10 times I know that the song will contain a sine-bass playing long notes, with non-quantized hihats and percussion playing a syncopated rhythm over top.

And I am so sick of the formula of boring piano/ synth part--> rise (either noise sweep or pitch modulation) --> "drop"-->repeat. I want some verse- chorus stuff, with real melodies rather than random arps.

But, I am kind of bitching. I dont think dance music is going anywhere any time soon, I just hope that people will realize that electronic music is capable of being so so much more. How about EAM? (Electronic Art Music)

for listening to my long rant, here is some cool music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUSrNGDt2Do

^^ I want more electronic music like this. There are dance music influences in this guy's songs, they have a really solid beat, but I wouldnt call anything hes done EDM.

i think more like this just crazy sounds for the violin.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A0sMC5olxI

Every time I think of future music I think of Animals As Leaders, Nice technical guitar work with electronica mixed in also.
btw I love Squarepusher

Eventually people will be able to directly interface with musical instruments, and literally play what they hear in their heads. People will be able to download, matrix style, how to play instruments. Everyone will become Mozart. And from that point, there is no telling where music will go, once the baseline of what people appreciate is raised. While I think that simplicity will always be an important aesthetic, the potential for intricate complexity in music will explode in the future.

The future of music will be entirely dependent on society.

I know that everyone is all crazy about dubstep and 'EDM' at the moment but dubstep has already proven itself to be a flash in the pan. I've seen electronic music go mainstream and then sink like a rock.

Musical progress probably won't be technical, it'll be musical. There is not a lot of 'musical' music coming out right now and the trouble with technical wizardry is that it's not often something that appeals to most people and can often fall into the trap of being too generic and too homogenized for anyone to care long-term.

The musicians decide the future of music and from what I can tell as someone who has been a musician for a long while is that we are just about ready to vomit up the saturated, churned out music: Churned out tracks, churned out samples, churned out sounds. It's sad when I hear people talking about IDM being some kind of godlike amazing intelligent music when really a lot of the sounds are very basic and it's only the facade of abstraction that makes it sound 'intelligent'.

Joanna Lumley has sure let herself go.

Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Tycho, Eluvium, Four Tet, Amon Tobin, Clark, Squarepusher etc are all 'sounds of the future' in my eyes. Although quite a few such artists actually are devoted to the more low tech analog aesthetic, so who knows how that's gonna be incorporated in the future.

Ideally however I'd love for the music of the future to be a massive clusterfuck-amalgamation of the roots of music - so the rhythmic base of jazz and hip hop, melody of trance, the groove of house, the breakbeat of drum and bass, etc. With a whole load of whateverthefuck from people on the Warp/Ninja Tune roster.

Whatever it's gonna be, it's gonna be good.
