I never heard of dubstep until Scott I think posted something about it months ago. To show what some kids are doing with it, I found one video of an alto player doing Take 5 as dubstep. On the one hand it was absolutely terrible, it bordered on some of the worst crap I've ever heard yet on the other hand the kid was really creative. First, he's a real player I could hear that in 5 seconds. The kid can play his horn. Second he has one of those big square controllers with about 16 or 20 lighted pads and he had them all programmed to do different things with Abelton Live. That controller was as much an instrument as his horn was. Between playing phrases on the horn, he's punching those pads and doing all kinds of very crazy things with Live. It was fascinating to watch even though it was really hurting my ears even at low volume. I mean, the screeching, the wobble bass, tons of very irritating synth stuff floating in and out etc. But yet, I grudgingly admit, very creative use of technology. I didn't save that video, if someone wants to see it you can probably find it on Youtube by doing a keyword search.

This vid is an example of folks like us not being qualified to even judge if that's good dubstep or not. For all I know those fans loved it. Or not, they might say it was very amateurish, how can we judge something like that?
