Supposing

Sounds are interesting when they have a degree of aesthetic appeal and meaning.


When there is a dearth of innovation, what follows is a great deal of "re-imagining", and the status quo is thereby sustained while it yet declines.  Observe music culture as the clearest example, its common patterns and deteriorating archetypes replicated again and again, growing vapid and empty.

It is not repetition, but juxtaposition that possesses intrinsic interest, evoking meaning through renewal of sound and vision.
