>then wake up the next day and write many private letters to himself about how it both does and doesn't bother him and then burn the letters

>It was more of an example of you heralding a mindset of conformity.
Yet I haven't mentioned any critic/popular thinker, in fact I have only talked about radical individuality and the acceptance of arbitrariety in one's judgement.
You're not being that charitable.

>today's music academia.
First of all, this notion is not prevalent at all in contemporary academia.
Secondly, I have mentioned academia once, and only in response to your remark on it.
Again, you're just putting words into my mouth.

>I think Adam Neely's electronic music project illustrates this very well. He wrote a piece mostly utilizing computer generated sounds, and his professors didn't really like it. Once, and only once he wrote down the really complicated sheet music did he get recognition from his teachers.
Does this have anything to do with what I've said? Have I praised the contemporary academia as a completely prejudice-free institution? Have I praised it at all?
Also, have I said that contemporary music can be compared to common practice period music? I've said that NMH (not people like Ferneyhough) can be compared to Beethoven, since they're both using the same exact musical system and they're both responding to somewhat similar requests, moods and philosophical pursuits. None of them were trying to advance the theoretical aspect of music at large, unlike the example you've presented me.


>And yes, ITAOTS is well structured and paced.
In what ways do you think it is well structured?
>Discounting it just because of it's genre
not what I did
>and relative accessibility
That's something you've just made up
>is moronic and elitist.
I may have been moronic and elitist, had I said even 10% of the things you've attributed to me.

>tfw this was written by an actual human being
>tfw there's a person out there living a full human experience, and this is what emerges from her own existence

I may be stupid, but at least I'm not her.

Is being a successful failed artist the worst kind of existence?
