im very curious as to what music you listen to that is not sequenced or
quantisized. to me this would mean no measures, time signature, etc. but
it is very possible we are working with different definitions of
"sequencing", which would screw everything up. would this mean no
patterns as well? i ask because to me tribal rythms derive their power
(and very powerful they are!) from their patterns.
