In my youth classical and experimental electronic music was part of my environment due to parents, father being a music teacher and mother a singer. My father played woodwind and taught me some piano, and one day bought home a small modular synthesizer from college for us to play with.
As a teenager Shoenberg and Stockhausen were studied along with Stravinsky, Debussy etc and 'Switched on Bach' was purchased and played along with all the rock records.
Today I don't buy many CD's - they would be mainly Rock, Fusion or Electro. I haven't purchased any classical or avante guard CD's for decades.
However, the pioneering electronic music movement, from my observation, has its place well established in music history and it's interesting to see how it extends into the modern day as much as it is good to see the old prog rockers such as Steve Hackett revisiting the golden era, whether re-arranging old material or writing new.
Technology has delivered us a means to create what our forefathers could not in their genres, so an opportunity to revitalise them all - and XITE can lead the charge on all genre fronts !! Let's not leave any fodder for those native beasts
