rhythmic uniformity

To blame the rhythmic uniformity of dance music on the restrictions of music software is to ignore the diagnosis that dates from early Adorno of what some today have called the recursive logic of the tyranny of the beat. Also it neglects to ask why our software has the restrictions it does. And it ignores that despite the normative orientations of popular music software, it could be used otherwise, against the expectation of the programmers.
