should music be liked because of the difficulty of it's production?
I write:
Interesting story you have, I find myself in a similar boat. I'm always
trying to figure out how people do waht they do, and I too miss the time
when I didn't have a clue.
However, if anything, I had an opposite reaction than you in regards to
repitive type music. I find myself listening to *more* repitive stuff,
because it serves as a release from thinking about song production/
structure too much. For example, all the Basic Channel/Chain Reaction
stuff. I love that shit. I've been into heavily since last summer; it's
the music I fall asleep to. It's all about a simple simple vibe. Nothing
more. I think it would be harder (for me) to make 'simple music like
that', because you have to abandon the snobbery angle, which to some
extent I too am afflicted with...
