Completely ignoring computers and electronic music, how do you imagine music stylistically changing in the next 20-40 years? I'm 18, but what will it be like when I'm 40? There's no way that it's all down hill from hear as some might say. At some point someone is going to do something new and different and it'll catch on quickly. I think music could become more complicated by becoming "Poly harmonic" meaning that slash chords will be used as a double harmonic function instead of as an effect. Meaning this, we started from monophonic music in melodic elements right? The west is the only civilization to incorporated the use of Polyphony "Chords" and it spread through out the world in what we call "Western music" well, traditional other cultural music doesn't do this unless it's specially different. But what if it was taken a step further and we combined two polyphony into Polyharmony? or Poly-tonality. That's what I imagined one way music could change in the future. Perhaps more atonal stuff will start to become normal and popular. Perhaps Microtonality will finally catch on to be popular... May'be new styles will emerge. I hope so, the last new style of music was trance and electronic forms which can be played on acoustic instruments if done correctly which I've seen some people doing. But it came up like 20 years ago at least.
This is a good example of very modern sounding music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzY8e...eature=related
What ideas do you imagine could happen "Positive please don't just complain about music and how it's just going to get worse or how all the good stuff was written decades ago"
