Ei mitään uutta auringon alla?
Nykyisessä teknossa alalajeineen, kuten ambient house, voisi väittää kiteytyvän koko vuosisadan elektronisen musiikin historian avantgardesta minimalismiin. Ralph Gleason kirjoitti oivaltavasti vuonna 1970 merkinnöissään jazzmuusikko Miles Davisin 'Bitches Brew' -albumiin "sähköisen musiikin" kehityksestä -- ja näitä ajatuksia voisi soveltaa kenties kaikkeen uuteen musiikkiin, olipa se sitten kokeilevaa teknoa tai äärimmäistä avantgardea:
So Lenny Bruce said there is only what is and that's a pretty good basis for a start. This music is. This music is new. This music is new music and it hits me like an electric shock and the word "electric" is interesting because the music is to some degree electric music either by virtue of what you can do with tapes and by the process by which it is preserved on tape or by the use of electricity in the actual making of the sounds themselves.Electric music is the music of this culture and in the breaking away (not the breaking down) from previously assumed forms a new kind of music is emerging. The whole society is like that. The old forms are inadequate. Not the eternal verities but the old structures. And new music isn't new in that sense either, it is still creation which is life itself and it is only done in new way with new materials.
So we have to reach out to the new world with new ideas and new forms and in music this has meant leaving the traditional forms of bars and scales, keys and chords and playing something else altogether which maybe you can't identify and classify yet but which you recognize when you hear it and which when it makes it, really makes it, it is the true artistic turn on.
