Though I cannot speak for everyone or even from experience because I don't know anything about producing music, I have heard the reason from musicians that the avant-garde / noise style is very easy to produce; it doesn't take much effort or skill. Perhaps it is like with graphic art, where someone can load up an image and apply 50 random Photoshop filters on it to achieve a nice-looking (or harsh/grating/confusing in the case of the music at hand) colorful picture that doesn't resemble the original very much, but is it any good since the computer basically made it? But I suppose in commercial graphic design this exact thing happens a lot too. :-) -Joshua Whitcomb _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
