Electronic music is bad and it gets worse as time goes on.

wow lots of opinions in this thread.LargeHadron posted:Schoenberg....contemporary....................? lol yeah, real contemporary composers write post-modern works. Joan Tower does great things with tonality and many are still huge fans of Eric Whitacre though I'm not cus he hasnt been innovating since the 70s theres also a lot of mostly unknowns out there right now, though most of it is quite derivative or too experimental Hector Beerlioz posted:I like Hector Berlioz what's your favorite piece by him and why?

However, you should learn more before speaking so assertively about it.

If you're able to take courses on the subject, definitely do so but with an understanding that you'll likely learn breadth without depth. This approach makes it very easy to fall into the trap of forming opinions based on generalizations, or "representative works", and very often miss a lot of the nuance of the style or composer being taught. So, yeah take courses in order to get direction for your own self-study. Don't be afraid of the ugly or gritty - I understand that Tower and Whitacre both offer very nice-sounding music, but I think you'll find much more challenging and rewarding music out there if you dig past what some might consider mainstream. It's hard to talk about without sounding like a douche, and I'm open to the possibility that I simply don't know enough about these two particular composers in order to hold a well-informed opinion, but I (and many others) think of Tower and Whitacre (especially Whitacre) as the McDonald's of contemporary classical music. Well, maybe not McDonald's - that might fit better with John Williams and some other film composers - but I think you get what I'm trying to say. There's some really great poo poo out there, and yes a lot of it is lesser-known, but I don't think that's because it's in some way worse or, as you said, too experimental. I made a thread awhile back and got lazy and forgot to update it, and then it went into archives and now I can't update it. It'll give you a good introduction to spectral music, if you are interested: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3719448. That's just one of many contemporary trends in music. If this piques your interest at all, I'm happy to either speak more about it, or to direct you toward other styles that you might enjoy.
