I think about this from time to time. Sometimes I gain insight when I listen to Vagelis's BladeRunner soundtrack......some of the tunes sound very futuristic and 1930's all at the same time. Pure genious. That soundtrack never dates or gets stale.....in my mind its the best representation of where music might be in 100 yrs time
I cannot see people still using synths and making the same elctronic muic to the same rules. I think one day....someone will invent a new standard....new scales....new chords.....ones which may sound strange but become acceptble to use. Its an interesting fact that chords and their progressions only sound 'pleasing' to us because its so ingrained in our brains to hear those harmonics. It is quite possible to use strange combinations of chords...and then over time for them to seem as normal as C majors.
What do you think....

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....
