Re: [microsound] point missed in a cartesian sonata

[Kyle Klipowicz <kyleklip@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know I just scoffed at him in a previous email, but Adorno is an
important critic of Capitalism's (oh no, an ism!) effect on music,
which makes a lot of sense if you just watch MTV or listen to any of
the five or six identical stations on your FM radio.

But, he was quite the Classical music snob, so I doubt that he'd
appreciate much microsound, or loop-based music at all!  However, this
hatred of "commodified music," of which most microsound (especially if
on a netlabel) is arguably spared the title, does stem from his
Marxian beliefs.
