The sort of artist that I like is those that find a new place in the music world instead of trying to copy somebody who has had success previous to them. For example simply love VNV nation because their electronic sound carries many elements within their music that appeal to all sorts of people. Sound is such a complicated sense to me; I think that we should add intricacy to our auditory experience by adding clashing elements or elements that complement each other in a way that has never been done before. I mean, what is the point in starting a band if what is going to come out off it is just the same junk that that has been heard for generations? Bands that interest me are pioneers of sound; people who take the old and twist is into something new and innovative. I think that the bands that I have picked this semester reflect this. VNV Nation with their electronic sound that will not be tamed, Muse and their rock electronica and Linkin Park with their unique blend of mu-rock and rap-rock. I am still debating what band I should to this collection of papers. Right now I am leaning towards some candidates. Krypteria, a band composed of German instrumentation and a Korean vocal is one of such options; they are mostly inclined towards metal with emphasis on vocals. A similar band coming from the bowels of Netherlands, Within Temptation, creates strong instruments blaring and an angelic voice from the singer.
