I strongly disagree; there's plenty contemporary (read: 20th century and
later) non-trivial harmonic music to find. As for the trivial or
disharmonic, I guess it has always existed; it's just that it is long
forgotten as far as romantic and pre-romantic times are concerned.

Besides, at least they use equipment that /could/ be employed to produce
sound remotely worthy of being called music.


(I'm glad you didn't mention Karlheinz Stockhausen though. /That/ was
true German crime against music, against which even your pipes pale in
comparison.)
