It just seems that genre's like Noise can be so extreme that it would be really difficult to do something new. Like, we have people walking into sewers and taking 15 minute samples of it, and going onto stage and performing it by holding a playing cassette player.
I see it like an alchemist. If there was a potion-maker that's tested every ingredient in the world, the only way to figure out how to make new ingredients is by mixing them together, but they're still just a mixed version of the original ingredients. Every once in a while, they can find a chemical reaction that works really well, and those would represent the Good Bands. But really, how many bands do you know that have absolutely no influence from other artists?
I think it would be interesting to hear music from a person that grew up as a musician, but never heard a single song in his/her life.
