Q: Sometimes I feel like reducing music to devices, chord progressions, or song layouts is at best interesting but missing the point and at worst disrespecting the music. How do you feel about that?
A: it can be fun and useful to try, but the music will sooner or later find a way to break free, no matter what the rule was. this part is even more fun. don't worry, the music is not offended by categorization attempts. it only gets more excited, at a new chance to blow your mind again
