For Rum...where is the rum?

Truly, hit and miss/random chance composition is the composition of our era. It is rife through commercial music (the stuff of bands, not the stuff of pop singers who could not be more removed from hit and miss composition if they jumped on a boat to the Antarctic), it certainly appears to be the main mode of music creation amongst the electronic noise artists, even the Classicists sometimes abandon themselves to formulas (take Serialism for example). So, today in forum we found out about a French, Music Concrete fellow named Pierre. I wouldn't say so much that this guy is a composer of one kind or the other, more a fanatic of sound. Sound is his instrument, he has a library of samples as long as my arm and the means to summon them at will (almost, and with the aid of his wife Bernadette). His compositions consist of to my interpretation, simple improvisation with his samples as the notes on his instrument. Of the works that we heard, I much preferred his collaboration with standard rock music than his pure noise works (with Pierre referring to his best known Rock music collaboration as being to him as The Bolero was to Ravel...to both these composers I say - lighten up, perhaps the people like these because they sound good, perhaps a good composition is not necessarily a technical one!). Amazingly enough, his remixed Classical music features standard mainstream techno beats, these works have aged quite well...
