Of the irrational and the rational

        Since the beginning of mankind, man has always tried to impose toothers who were believed to be "inferior". An extreme example of this is the tumultuousTwentieth and the Twenty-First centuries so far. There have been great advances in thepast decades. These are the advances in medicine, science and technology(appliances, space flight, television, internet, etc) which led both: social progress and tothe worst of human beings - genocides, wars, extremism and famine (World Wars,Rwandan Genocide, the current wars in Syria, Afghanistan, Nigeria, etc).

          The music world is not unrelated to these facts. Though, the music world have broken with the “tradition” many times... radicalizing its position during the past Twentieth-century where there were (and still are) plenty of musicians (many politicized) expressing the nefarious events that occur in the world and who encouraged the development of music at the same time that pointed at these nefarious activities, the aggressiveness, the irrational and/or the rational.

“Any attempt to exclude the 'irrational' is irrational. Any composingstrategy which is wholly 'rational' is irrational in the extreme...composition.” John Cage
