when I mentioned rabbit in the moon I meant "one person playing techno music live without sequencing". I'm sure others have done it... but I haven't seen it. discussion of the 70's is not relevant here. 80's electronic music was heavily sequenced (new order? erasure). 90's was the blossoming of electronic dance music... and now here we are... in a world where I have a sample sequencing program on my iphone.

regardless... I heartily defend my definition of electronic music as modern folk music... as not all electronic music is folk music... but some folk music is electronic... and it is folk by definition... not by style. if you're hung up on cliches of irish ditties and bob dylan you are thinking in terms of style. folk music is the music of a culture that they people play for and by themselves. if a large number of people are doing that with electronic music... is it not folk? shoot... what about hip hop? how long before electronic music parties become a "tradition"?

rock music is going to be classical in 200 years... no? ever heard the term "classic rock"? how do you think black sabbath would have felt about that term back in 75?

how about the term "classic rave"? I'm the one and only dominator!
