<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I am a newbie in electronic music (not dance music by the way, electronic in the broad sense) but i am also a "classic" musician, teacher, I also played in traditional music groups etc... background aside here goes the idea.<br>
<br>A long time ago, in the renaissance and before, a third and a sixth were considered a dissonant interval. Consonants where only the forth, fifth and octave... this could be caused by a lot of different aspects, one of them was the Temperament of the scale that was quit different from the 12 equal semitones used later. Also the music was made primarily to be sang and played in church and monasteries were the reverberation was big. After that came the keyboard instruments and the difficulty of tuning of the same instruments on different key signatures, this lead to a standard of twelve equal semitones that allow "interchangeability" of keys. Some years later came the continuous modulation, after that the dodecaphonic series and after that integral serialism and electronic instruments etc etc etc.<br>
Each of this changes were highly disregarded by the broad public being used later on for more "commercial music".<br><br>What i want to say is that, you may not like some type of music,I dont like techno, even the pseudo good techno, on a bar, or at my music player, however it has its space on a disco. Each music has its time, its progression. Time its the best filter, maybe 90 % of the music created nowadays will not be heard in 200 years, but when the music touches senses it will endure. there where hundreds of baroque and classical composers at their time, however you only know a handful of them.... sometimes we as a society need time to assimilate change. Maybe a chainsaw is more musical than a violin, it all depends how the music is made, how the musical discourse and flow goes. apart of the music, there will be always place for "etudes". Problem is that nowadays each composition student does an exercise and call it a piece... but that is a social problem not of the techniques.<br>

</div>How do you define "Actual Music"? Some of us happen to define<br>
"chainsaw in cave 6 feet down" as music ;)<br>
