Re: what a loop has to say

[TonyIsYourPal@netscape.net (Tony Douglas)]

I think Eno summarised this as a fairly simple question :

"Is the art in the paint, or is the art in the idea ?"

Of course, this isn't an "either/or", but a continuum of possibilities.

For me, the art's (mostly) in the idea. How the idea was realised is, in 
many ways, not terribly relevant. Was it a loop ? Was it a room full of 
musicians playing one note each every three minutes ? Who really cares ?

Having ideas without ability is awful, especially for the poor soul with 
the ideas who can't realise them. Ability without ideas is differently 
awful, but awful all the same. 

No ideas and no ability, well ... (insert joke about your least favourite 
musical genre here).

Just my tuppence worth. (Some would say I'm overcharging.)
