I am Dr SKRILLEX!

I thought you used skrillex to clean your skrill.

my skrill is always squeaky clean

I love dubstep. I've been playing around with it myself, but of course, nowhere on the level of Skrillex's craziness. You either love dubstep or hate it with a few folks in between. It's an acquired taste if you give it a chance, but for most of the accoustic lovers, they'll hate it.

You are absolutely correct. As a an acoustic musician, to me, (ANd only in terms of musical form) it seems a useless waste of expression and electrons Might as well just plug into an oscilloscope and watch the waves clip or clamp at inordinate intervals.

To be fair, I have examined dub-step carefully...and If I were a percussionist or a drummer, I think a lot of it would be handy for texture on innovative patterns of beats... So I guess, I would call it a viable 'ingredient" for bigger, more important projects...But by itself, It does absolutely nothing for me.

dubstep....... who needs talent anymore when all you need to do is press buttons on a computer?

it's nothing but synths in a more accessible format. Still gotta play the keyboard, still gotta turn the knobs. It's more difficult to make than a more simple synth song like, say, Subdivisions or Won't get Fooled Again. Either stop being elitest or go tell Geddy Lee and Pete Townsend they're not talented.

Dizz I agree that it does ultimately require one to have the foresight and some musical imagination and plan to pull off the right buttons at the right time...

And Josh, If you use a drum machine, (which is all buttons), you wont get any mileage out of it, unless you happen to know how to play drums. Black-boxing synth technology does not abrogate ones responsibility to have the manual skills.

I have no freaking idea what your talking about . . .


And it's likely, it'll stay that way.
