@carmenlisandrette@mastodon.social I can think about the botanica genre, which is influenced by Porter Robinson, but I feel like this specific genre was mostly plugin-based. Usually it was addictive keys piano, plugin chroma and then another granulator called autochroma. This is what made "specific sound" here. And in general I can see how some new plugin appears on the market and then a lot of tiktoks using this plugin, creating some micro-genre. Idk, feel free to debate, but I just think it's true, and you can think about more examples

@flenyo@hear-me.social I believe you! Of course technology affects art. I was listening to old Now compilations last night and it's obvious the software producers are using has changed how pop music sounds completely. Some of most popular music from the 2000s now sounds like it's less vivid because of the way it's produced. Some of that will be producers' skills, but some of that will be software. Of course, I don't know much about this stuff so I can't put my finger quite on what's changed.
