That is not innovation it's pushing to extremes.
just because a medium has been explored does not mean it has no
capacity for innovation.
we have just barely; in the last 7 or 8 years-- scratched the surface
of software based music.
We now have, at our disposal, at any time, every conceived synthesis
method and every single recorded sound at our disposal for music
creation.
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read
and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." - Toffler
