Dissonance is part of music, too. A notation system that perfects harmony would create a false music, an apotheosis of beauty without the beast.

I wondered about that too Joseph, because light and dark reveal themselves most readily when they contrast with one another and something might be lost if all chords were cheerily resolved.

This sounds like the work Wendy Carlos did in 1986, highlighted on her album "Beauty in the Beast".

If bagpipes are the biggest thing going for it currently, I don't think I will rush to join the 'revolution'. And that Stevie Wonder thing is crud.
