Totally agree - that balance is very hard to get right. I think edIT are
one of the few people, to my ears, who get it perfectly.

Subject: [idm] Re: The great DSP noise debate
Context and balance is a big issue here... dsp noise and trickery can sound
both complex and beautiful if framed in the right audio environment....
where there are elements of softness, soothing, quietness - just like you
need a range of colours to appreciate white and black in images and visa
versa.... DSP is a tool - a timbre that can add variety and richness to a
piece in my opinion - it can also be over-done.

Could it have been in The Wire, perhaps? I remember thinking that he had a
point (despite the fact that I *do* tend to like "glitch-hoppiness").

*DSP* noise in particular, not just all noise (although I acknowledge that -
obviously - DSP glitchiness is necessarily a subset of "all noise").
