7 minutes of a 4-on-the-floor kick drum and a single unchanging synth
chord through a phaser is intelligent!? what planet am i on?
i mean, i like minimalism as much as the next guy (actually, that's
a lie, i hate minimalism) but to call it intelligent just seems
kinda nuts to me. in fact, if anything, it's the opposite of
intelligent... it's like systems music. set it up and let it run.
no thought required.
