..when does music stop being "experimental" and simply become rubbish? I have pondered the Emperors new clothes when listening to Late Junction - one recent example was a Lol Coxhill piece which consisted of a number of uncoached children chanting the words to "I am the Walrus"... and it was fairly certain that if the piece did not have the name Lol Coxhill under it, it would have been nothing more than a remedial drama class at an inner city primary school.
I have some thoughts on this but wondered whether the dividing line is consistent in the minds of other listeners too. I like to think I am quite liberal in taste but some things are just beyond my ability to appreciate!
