    When an electronic musician gets to be a household name, and realize their dreams of working with a full symphony orchestra.

    I've never heard that experiment yield anything but a giant snoozefest.

    • When rock bands do it it works because they compose and perform actual music.monospaced
    • ^ Well, quite. Pop/electronic music now is a same-y autotune and drum machine shit sandwich to begin with.Continuity
    • I felt the same with Bonobo. Just seemed too predictable.Ianbolton
    • It's more of a late career move. Probably their taste in music changed and now they want to make "serious art."yuekit

    • The 90's rockers who did this knew about chords, chord structure, and many practiced classical instruments growing up. Like Axl Rose.monospaced
    • @Continuity "electronic music now". That's like hundreds of genres at this point.jagara
    • ah, missed the 'household name' bit.Fax_Benson

    • Kashmir: Symphonic Led Zeppelin, is pretty epic. Do rock artists count as electronic or are we talking more like Skrillex?brandonp
    • I think ... THINK ... electronic is when there's nobody involved who actually plays an instrument in the music. Could be wrong.monospaced
    • Would Pete Tong & the Heritage Orchestra count?Akagiyama
    • @Fax_Benson Ben Frost, Jóhann Jóhannsson should be household names! Even if people don't know their albums they've probably watched something scored by them.skinny_puppy
    • @monospaced yes, so those (formerly exlusively) electronic musicians now get to compose for a symphony orchestra.jagara
    • yes AkagiyamaGardener
    • in the 2000s everyone was doing classical shit mixed with techno. paul oakenfold etcdoesnotexist
    • A lot of 2000s industrial bands were sampling classical in their stuff, too. Hello, Front Line Assembly.Continuity
    • @continuity not talking about sampling, I'm talking about the band composing for a full Orchestra.jagara
