Isn't 'original', non-sampled music sourced from rearranged noise?
Does this mean that the degree of rearrangement is the only indicator of
quality?
I don't think it does. I think that the creation itself is the only
indicator of its quality, not some arbitrary, subjective evaluation such
as 'degree.'
It's all noise, after all. Some of it more pleasant than others.
