While it might be true that music and math are intertwined, with 12 tone theory, you start losing the music, and getting too much math.

Also, he is trying to be delibriatly as random as possible!!! How is that supposed to be musically appealing in any way?
While there will always be people who hate 12 tone music, how is maths random?

I'm sorry, and I have a feeling that many of you going to start throwing oversized boulders and flaming torches at me for this, but I can't stand mozart. Or glass for that matter.
