Subject: Re: Vision Fest in the NY Times
The Times article was an enthusiastic endorsement of this music by a critic who was new to it, and a call to others looking for the real deal to go check it out. She was very complementary about the scene, and I thought said exactly the right things about the spirit with which one should approach it:
"Accessible? These tones were irresistible, though not easily absorbed. They challenged the habits of
listening, rerouting the path that sound travels from ear to mind. Perhaps so many find such music
irritating because, at its core, bewilderment is its gift. The questions it poses are bottomless."
I don't think that "sophisticated" criticism would have improved on that. Sometimes, as an old boss of mine once said, you just have to take yes for an answer.
