Electronic Conundrum
MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia|June/July 2019

Caught in between how it is and how it should be, music technology advancements prove that music is not a universal language spoken by all.

Electronic Conundrum

Electronic Dance Music (EDM) does not seem to stray too far away from summer bodies and sun-kissed skin; the imagery is often evoked whenever the music genre is mentioned. This writer admits that summer parties charged with beer, carefree spirits, and pulsating EDM can be quite liberating. In fact, EDM exists in a similar fashion as summertime – it sweeps in like an intense heatwave and seems to wane when the leaves turn red. To say the least, EDM is a music trend that many subconsciously follow. It also has perturbed music traditionalist in recent years, and their worries made us wonder if we are losing the true essence of music in the name of music technological advancements.

EDM is at the forefront of this advancement, and for the uninitiated, anyone can make music in the comforts of his bedroom with just an audio software. This presents endless possibilities at everyone’s disposal. By taking away the need for actual musical instruments, one does not even need to master a single instrument to make music. This helps in keeping one’s stage dream alive – work hard, know the inside-out of the program, and one’s shining breakout moment may come.
