Ray of Light

So I’m driving home, listening to electronica on the car MP3 player, and I’m wondering: do its fans enjoy it as the sensible evolution of musical sound using the instruments of the 21st century; or because they’re a generation that has grown up listening to things beep and buzz at them, so carving music out of that is only natural?

I had a link once upon a time to a percussive piece composed to be played on a room full of dot-matrix printers – an instrument already vanishing into history.
