But I don't send out fliers anymore. I've made a few quality contacts I need to keep in touch with better. Some are just nice folks and good letter writers, others like Mike Adams, Doug Harrison, and Dave Fuglewicz put out great tapes. But I mostly focus on playing out live and releasing like five copies of a new tape just for friends about once a year. There's been a surge in popularity of electronic music.
Electronic music comes from electronic culture.
When technology can produce toys and tools that create sound, it opens the door to non-musically inclined people to create sonic art. From musique concrete in the 50s to Kraftwerk to techno and house, it was all an artistic exploration. Yeah, pretty much. The law tries to stop it, but it'll just get more legit to compensate. Unless Y2K causes all electrical devices world wide to die, Quartz crystals, synth modvies samplers, MIDI connections, vinyl and DJs will remain the most economical music delivery system for this type of event.
