Re: [microsound] State of Music

[graham miller <grahammiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

writing in a unique or unorthodox style does not necessarily imply 'ambiguity.' to
be honest, my stuff is really straight forward and easy to understand. try reading
richard middleton's book on popular music and we can start talking about ambiguity.
or many of the posts here, for that matter. many so-called academics hide behind
verbosity and this crystalline veneer of bullshit disguised as intelligence... as
einstein said, 'things should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.' and
to be honest, i could give a flying fuck who's reading my work. if they don't get
it, it's their problem, so long as i'm proud with what i've written and i believe
in it. just like music, baby. nothing moves forward by adhering to convention.
