Re: [microsound] microsound+melody

Just taking up your last point -
Oh and in case you were wandering this isnt another 'praise autechre' mail,
but an argue for the use of melody in songs :)

It's interesting that a lot of time is spent purging melody from minimal
/microscopic music.  I don't believe that the two are mutually exclusive.  I
think in a form based on technical innovation, if the innovation is
compromised and the work relies on melody to 'carry' the work, this can be
seen as a fault.  But there are certainly cases where the two co-exist
without compromising each other, and simply extend the boundries of that
particular aesthetic or even merge it with other forms to create a new
beauty.
Thoughts?
