@utube9000 But in a sense, she IS describing an IT startup. She's showing, if not a new, definitely an unexplored frontier about how to play complex pieces without a band to back and that alone takes a bit of time to explain. Not just the hardware but the thought process behind the compositions themselves. She's not pretentious about it, she's describing a process that isn't standard to all yet. I'd worry if she was generalizing things like we SHOULD know what she's doing.

I think its funny that they refer to this as "avant garde". Sounds like pop music.

@dovren1 I think just has social issues (the same way some geniuses have troubles talking to people) and therefore her explanation of expression can seem "condescending".

I find it pretentious that she considers herself avant garde when all shes doing is playing a bunch of loops. This is the first search result under "avant garde music" which is disappointing because this is a terrible example of it.

Doesn't sound very avant-garde to me...

@okturus Wait, you think she comes off as condescending!!?

@utube9000 She was describing what goes on in her head when she composes a piece, not what she physically does during the performance.

@okturus There were no mission statements, manifestos, or disclaimers in there. She was just explaining how she writes a song. There was no intellectual jargon, other than the most basic sort of technical terms.  I don't think she came across as elitist or condescending at all. Yes, she sounds like she used to be a software engineer, because she was one.
