Almost all electronic music is basically pop music without vocals. I think we've actually taken a huge backward step in experimental music since the 70's or so. Everything got very conventional and pop influenced towards the 80's - and it has remained so ever since. There are notable exceptions like autechre - who continue to actually let experimentation and concepts be the leading light - and other small sub groups of musicians that operate very much on the sidelines. Ricardo Villalobos would be another well known figure who genuinely experiments.nineofkings wrote:Arca has incredible otherworldly production, but, I would say, is mostly harmonically grounded in pop music and opera. Strange bedfellows, but if you listen to his newest self-titled album it makes sense that he mixes pop harmonies with IDM production with operatic drama.JerGoertz wrote:Gree with VSnares and Autechre. Never heard of Arca, will check them out.ariston wrote:In electronic music, Autechre is your friend. Especially post-millennial Autechre. Also check out Venetian Snares and Arca.
In short, Arca is an incredible musical experience but not really in the way that it seems you're asking for.
I find Arca to be all style and no substance. I don't think he will be remembered at all in years to come.

I agree with you, but there's no telling what the OP will like, and variety spice yadda yadda.
