New Music in the 21st Century - what path will it take?

[stevie]

interesting topic perhaps.

where do you see future music going?

can as many drastic changes and innovations happen in this century as the last?

[chopintod]

Definitely, as long as humans continue to survive.

Of course, it would be darn near impossible to determine the path it will take, just like it's darn near impossible to tell the path science will take.  We can make guesses, and some of them will turn out to be close to the truth.

I would say look for more computer music in the near future, but no clue after that.

No one can predict the future... in the 40's, people thought cars would be obselete by the 1960s and everyone would travel from place to place on a guided personal tram.  That didnt happen.

I also read in Time magazine recently that a future is possible where we live in bubble houses on Mars and travel to work in little golf cart-type thingies.  Chances are that wont happen either.

I have no clue where music is going... For all I know, we could all get into listening to East Indian music and writing music that uses tones between A and A#.  -hah like 12 of them!  The fact of the matter is, everything logical has been done before so we have to come up with something new and dumb to kill time before the earth gets sucked into the sun

Richard Attenborough opens a theme park staffed with cloned great pianists that were bitten by midges which got preserved in amber. Mozart is stolen shortly after opening and a manic hunt across the jungles of Nicarania begins....

The parents Bernhard turned away, sell the Porsche and Jag and don't go abroad on holiday and instead buy their next, 15-all-independant-fingered musical child prodigy from "Genetic choice SA" - HM revenue and customs decide the child is an uncooked meat product being imported from a non-EU country thus only 1kg per person is allowed unless he is made into a wedding cake.

Tweedle Dum Zappa Aruuba aruuba Vai showcases the new 10 string Ibanez at Namm winter 2020.

Computer composition. "computers don't do anything, programmers do" is the cry but the IBM S/410 puts the protest to music in the style of a Mozart Operetta which ends with "Oh yes they do!"

Green Day releases their 65th, and worst, album.  That's impressive.


2-Pac comes back and sings reggae. 

Christina Aguilera finally dies.

Brittany has a 12th baby.


I dunno.

Whatever comes in the future, can't be too bad, because I do believe that we've hit rock bottom.


Pop music used to be good, and it got worse and worse from the 30's on.  It's gotta go back up some time, right?  Kind of like gas prices (I hope).
