Music Gone Weird -
Where it's Been and Where it's Going
Much like
anything else that man is apt to create, music is subject to
evolution. Music goes back a long way. It's very likely that the
first time anyone would have conceived of anything like an abstract
idea such as music would be when some early human primates noted
something resembling rhythm while knocking stones together in order
to produce tools and weapons. What an odd sensation that must have
been for that early ancestor of ours. Music has come a long way
since then, yet ironically, the more it has changed, the more it's
stayed the same.

As new technologies have developed, if there's one thing human
beings have done with them, is they've learned how to make them
produce sound. The twentieth century saw many developments, some
which led to, while others specifically designed for, the burgeoning
music market. In the twenty-first century, musicians and producers
have a seemingly limitless array of instruments, gadgets and
mechanisms made available to them in order to produce and synthesize
music in ways which never would have been conceivable fifty years
ago. In terms of the desegregation process music went through,
beginning in the late 1980s and on into the 90s, some of it would
have seemed just as unlikely a mere twenty years ago.

In 2010, progressive modern music is often characterized by an
advocacy for political and environmental awareness, intellectualism,
all while being marked by its absence of classical pop romanticism
and substituting a self-aware illusion of artificial romanticism in
it's place. All of this comprises what modern music is today, along
with a consuming desire by an artist to find an unfilled niche in an
effort to sound completely unlike anything heard before. As such
being the case, the message meant to be conveyed in written song
lyrics, or deliberate 'de-harmonized' chords and arrangements, will
often take precedent over music which would otherwise be appreciated
merely for its popular appeal. Consequently, a lot of modern music
will consciously choose to sound strange, abstract and in some
cases, just plain weird.
This is the point of progressive modern music. It's designed to push
through boundaries of that which is already established in the
realms of our collective consciousness; progressing from that
singular instance when some cavemen were clicking rocks together and
accidentally invented music to the artists we now have today who
remind us more and more that music isn't meant simply to remind us
that we know how to create harmony and romance. Modern music shows
us that music can be a powerful medium serving to remind us that
there is always more to life than anything that's seen on any given
surface.
So just as the universe is said to have begun as result of a 'big
bang' that has progressively spread out in all directions over the
course of some fourteen billion years, producing some truly weird
spectacles (who ever saw the duck-billed platypus coming?) - so to
has modern music expanded, pushing full ahead, and breaking through
boundaries and preconceptions, producing some truly weird music.
Even at the expense of popularity.
