They're the Karlheinz Stockhausen of our generation

They're the Karlheinz Stockhausen of our generation.

Explain

Karlheinz Baked Beans.

no they're not

pretty much, especially their more recent stuff (ae live and elseq)

The absolute pitiful state of this board

except autechre are good

the stuff that Stockhausen did was far more radical; Autechre stick to a basic electronic music idiom and rarely color outside the lines.

ae make basically techno though. someone who is the Stockhausen of our generation would be like OPN because his stuff is more like classical.

lol no

give an argument you retard

they arent thank god, stockhausen is the biggest hack ever

OPN isn't anything like classical or in any way comparable to Stockhausen, for starters

sorry you're so uninformed

>sorry you're so uninformed

wanking over numbers is not the point of music

yes he is. His compositions are organized around traditional concepts of tonality like classical music while AE is based on sound design.

OPN does classical in the same way James Ferraro does.

Stockhausen's compositions aren't "organized around traditional concepts of tonality" though.

Anyway you could say that about virtually any pop music; that doesn't make it comparable to classical.

there's more to music than facile entertainment

the way I see it it's just like James Ferraro's shit and that gets labeled neo-classical so you are wrong

plus ae has too many post-african repetitions to be like Stocckhousen

People labeling Ferraro as such doesn't mean it's a reasonable thing to say. Also it sure as shit doesn't mean he's in any way comparable to Stockhausen.

right, there are still contemporary composers doing stuff that's far more in the vein of Stockhausen

If you wanted to find techno crossover people who were comparable, people like Mark Fell, Russell Haswell and Florian Hecker are much more appropriate.

Stockhausen is a hack.

name someone who contributed more to electronic music

oh wait, you can't

Unironically Aphex Twin.

lol no, maybe you should do some reading

They're the lads who nicked my wallet of our generation! Never going to Manchester ever again.

underrated

...

Kys yourself newfag, even fucking Xenakis is more important than le ebin elektronische hack.

Is there any logical reason why you would fucking say that post is underrated? Has anybody expressed any kind of dissatisfaction or criticism at all against it? Are you delusional? Are you reading replies that are nonexistant? Maybe you come from communities with voting systems, but there is literally no way that you could know what other people think of that post you just replied to here. Maybe it's psychological. Maybe it's your own post you're replying to, like a 12 year old fucktard liking his own facebook posts thinking his swelling autism is going unnoticed. Maybe your self esteem depends on you tricking yourself into thinking someone out there thinks your post is worth something. Or maybe you are just a retard, the worst kind of retard, the one who thinks he's smart, the one who thinks he's the only one to have gotten the joke, to have understood the post. Well, guess what, faggot, that post is under no definition underrated so why don't you do the world a favor and go check out what the bottom of your toilet smells like?
