Wow. Thanks for the insight.  :D

No, not really. It's easy to say that today's pop music is shite. Maybe it is really bad. You can also conclude that today's popular culture is not what you like and go elsewhere instead of complaining. Along the same lines, it takes more effort then posting a cat or copying code for an arduino from the net.

Speaking about Bartok. His compositions fell under modernism. Some people seem to call that modern classical music which is wrong.


TimFox:
Well, Bartok died in 1945.  For years after that, Igor Stravinsky was considered modern, especially "The Rite of Spring", premiered in 1913, although I remember when Stravinsky died in New York City (as had Bartok) in 1971.  My knowledge of British politics was formed by Monty Python--has it changed since then?  Luckily, the Mayflower never made it so far west as Chicago (we have our own problems).
Technically, Bach and Handel wrote baroque music; Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven wrote classical music;  Brahms and Schumann wrote romantic music; and so on.  However, record stores (remember them) grouped all of the above, along with Bartok and Stravinsky, in the "classical" section.

In that time they didn't use recordings of a cat being milked using pliers. They had some sort of wooden boxes with cat intestines which they operated with some kind of bow with hair from horse on it. They can sound great when operated properly. I've been told it takes some skill. Today we have samplers and synthesizers.

And Franz Liszt was The Who of his time.

Ask, how many of you guys here on the EEVBlog Forum, started your interest in electronics through synthesizers, drum machines, mixers, tape decks, midi controllers, samplers, electric organs, amplifiers, disco decks or electric guitars? Too name but a few. What none of you, some of you, or just about all of you?!

Syntax Error, much respect for the VL-Tone you showed. I have one and it was my first introduction to keyboards (I've been playing for a great part of my 40+ years).

My W-30 music workstation was my first introduction to the still infant world of music sampling and gave me a serious foundation theory about quantization, sampling and, as a side note, serial communications and protocols (MIDI). To date I still have it and love it.

Regarding "modern junk music", it always comes in circles. The OP must be young. When my brother and I were listening to Led Zepellin, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, etc. my dad was telling us to "turn down" or "turn off" that "noise".

I am not a big fan of everything modern, but the two YT videos shown before on this thread are fine examples of what is being done nowadays. I also love the collection of Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox entirely created in the 2010 years, which remakes old and new songs with massively talented performers and beautiful arrangements.
