Sounds too mathematical and contrived. Love Mozart, where the "math" sounds organic.

Yeah, I know that sounds bizarre.

I know a great mathematician - if you ever hear him play Chopin - stunningly beautiful.

TPP will set music back even further than any tech (like the piano, which was at some point supposed to "destroy music" just like the electric guitar and the synth were supposed to later).

Intellectual property laws pretend to "protect artists," but they actually protect the status quo from artists.

but Mozart's feels spontaneous. It's more like experiencing a dream than seeing something that's been cleverly nailed together.

What the hell is its relevance or import.

And no, I don't find someone twitching their ass to Beethoven great performance art or particularly amusing. It bored me to the point where I didn't make it through the clip.

Let's get pissed over this bit of inanity not being front and center in the MSM. NOT.

They showed that over and over again. They will not show this - that's all I said.
I did not say I want to see it on M$Greedia.

And who's getting pissed???
