Why would that be ridiculous? I was in a Turkish restaurant the other day, where they play live music too. I was really surprised how very modern and funky that old music sounds. The belly dancer had a pair of those tiny "finger-cymbals" on each hand, making rhythms that would fit a modern trance record VERY well.
I think I can understand this part. I have experienced similar music and often it has some real nice effects. :-)
All classic musical instruments are synthesizers of a kind too, guitars don't grow on trees. (Heh, who said this?) Perhaps the difference is the way that playing is controlled these days. Sequencers don't get tired of repeating the same melody, and modern sound processing with all kinds of delays, samplers, compressors, limiters etc etc gives us sounds that are new and exciting.
No, they are not. I think this doesn't really make sense ... have to agree with Oh_Jay. But you can really use some old instruments or even non-instruments to make sounds. Like Kraftwerk did in "Metal On Metal". But that doesn't make everything a synth.
am i the only one on this list , to whom this message above doesn't make ANY sense @ all ??? :-o
See above. ;-) Greetz, Jan
