I admit I spent many years in the thrall of rockism. Music was supposed to be five guys (it was always guys, too, wasn’t it) on drums, bass, two guitars and vocals. Or else like, a string quartet, or full orchestra. But eventually I came around to industrial and electronic music. Now nothing grabs my attention like an unexpected instrument thrown into the mix. There’s always a risk of being gimmicky, but done right, unusual instrumentation is music I like.
