I could levy the exact same accusations at perpetrators of atonality, saying that nothing they are doing is original anyways.

Which, of course, is why I prefer to promote open-mindedness and tolerance and acceptance of ALL music that is at least attempting to reflect the world in which we live.

There is a way of writing tonal music that is a reflection of the 21st century. Regardless of whether Gianluca appreciates it or not.

And there is a way of writing non-tonal music that is perfectly passé and out-of-date, a reflection of a world we no longer live in, an artistic pretention of "newness" that in no way takes into account the last 50 years of history.
