Prove this statement dude.
I can't prove a negative. Simply give me a "brand new" sonic element in
music, or a procedure to make it, and I will tell you where and when it has
occured in music BEFORE now as a precedent in the history of music. This
ridiculous argument is all about musical precedent... what music might
consist of that has not been part of music before. I contend there are NO
sonic precedents left to be achieved by modern music.
