Dogma00
The '''dogma00''' manifesto was a post-Luddite guideline for making computer-based rhythm music. It was originally a parody of the [[Dogme 95]] manifesto, but soon evolved into a small cult of its own.

dogma00 was born in Finland somewhere around 1999. Some "dogma00 compatible" music was made during 2000&mdash;2003. 

== The dogma00 rules ==

'''01.''' The machines won't follow the needs of humans, but humans accommodate themselves to the needs of the machines. You should let the rhythm device decide the tempo of your tune. You should listen to your synthesizer's will for the sound it wants to play. You can freely choose the method you use to listen to your machines.

'''02.''' You have to avoid melodic ingredients in your music. The mechanical rhythm is the main theme of all your tunes. You are allowed to use only one chord per song. Small variations in the chord used are allowed, but not in such way that the composition sounds like it was meant to be rich, entertaining and interesting.

'''03.''' The subject of the song -&mdash; including its name -&mdash; may not be connected to humanity, living human beings, human emotions or organic nature. All tunes must be about some machine, industry in general or some kind of technical achievement.

'''04.''' Human voices are not allowed. Speech created mechanically is allowed, but human speech (or singing) post-processed to sound mechanical is not allowed.
