Welcome to Music Talk, im your host Linda Richman....*ahem*
Anyway, to my question: Has music hit the glass ceiling? The basic band nowdays consists of: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, and sometimes keyboards. Using these instruments, musicians have created untold amounts of sounds, rhythms, melodies, harmonies, beats, etc. Like it or not, the majority of music is not creative. Musicians re-use the same riffs, the same drum patterns, the same vocal harmonies etc etc etc. The only difference his speed, timing, lyrics(which are often not creative either), etc etc. Now the whole point of me telling you what you probably already know is to get to my main question: How much farther will music evolve?What more is there besides vocals, drums,stringed instruments and electronic/keyboards? Are we done inventing musical devices and sounds?What is left besides re-hashing and genre hybrids?
Discuss.
