OK, but consider this: why should Western-style harmonies and melodies be
considered the fundamentals? The fundamental definition of music are that it is
sound organized through time -- perhaps there are other, more interesting ways
to structure compositions without using harmonies and melodies associated with
earlier periods of music. One of the things I try to do when I write
techno/drum'n'bass is to look for such alternative ways to structure the
composition.
