searching for all music of a certain style on soundcloud. then literally clicking through up to a thousand of tracks in order to find the rare good ones. or trying to find out which keywords are especially useful on google search to find interesting art; re-devoloping the keywords, coming up with new ones, keeping those that were useful. then, again, clicking through hundreds of results to find the good stuff. or, if having found an interesting sonic artist, checking his profile on discogs; then trying to find out more stuff about all his releases; then checking the labels he released on; checking all the other artists on that label too. then checking all the labels of all the releases of all these artists; repeat; and so on.
so, yes, you indeed need a form of special dedication to find the gems that are on the net these days. and believe, there is really wonderful, amazing stuff to be found this way, that is much, much better than the easily accessible art, and in my opinion often even outshines the art of the past. stuff about which you think, this is so sweet, so brilliant... there is not much like it. it takes me higher.
it is of course problematic that this art this way retains unattainable for most people. we will see how this situation develops in the future.
