i object to this. there is plenty of sound art made by
people who contribute to this list that perhaps cannot
be understood as music at first listen by others not
familiar with the aesthetics or ideas of the authors.
critical thnking and reflection can be created more by
work that causes the most perplexity. so preconcived
notions of understanding are not always neccessary or
indeed advisable.

all the more reason to be critical of any concept of
music that can be used in that way.

a vast majority of great works have actually been
given to us while the artists get relatively nothing
in return. varese died in great obscurity. i
appreciate that you want to see artists recompensed.
but fulfilling a market niche is noy what motivates
the most interesting art.
