@TodePond @yaxu let us not forget stockhausen's advice to rdj

"I heard the piece Aphex Twin of Richard James carefully: I think it would be very helpful if he listens to my work Song Of The Youth, which is electronic music, and a young boy’s voice singing with himself. Because he would then immediately stop with all these post-African repetitions, and he would look for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat any rhythm if it were varied to some extent and if it did not have a direction in its sequence of variations."

@Gregori @tehn @TodePond Stockhausen is remarkable because his works provide the framework for clearly and decisively categorizing musical works into just 2 categories. In one group, we have works *not* written by Stockhausen and his ideological adherents, which are likely to have some value, some analytical reward, or simply may be pleasant or evocative. On the other hand, we have stuff that *is* the work of Stockhausen etc., and it all sucks terribly and is racist to boot.
