I kind of like dead fish...
I actually been thinking for a while, like bret's stuff is super interesting to me technically & all that, but as an artist (musician) I don't find it very compelling.
Technology does certainly enable new forms of art - I happen to love looper pedals & it transformed my life.. but I would have been fine w/o the looper, it's important to remember that pre-looper music is still very cool (to over exaggerate my point).
My point, is technology certainly can enable new art - fish with jet packs who devour entire planets, but it doesn't discard the old dead fish which are just as beautiful.
We can have both 🙂
