Something To Think About

I often think – with all these tools available, every synth in the world, available to anybody essentially for free – that maybe music might sound more interesting or experimental or exciting, or branch off into new places because all this stuff is available.

But, does it seem like that’s happened? Not that there isn’t some cool things happening, but a lot of it sounds like shit to me.
