Thanks for that informative link.. I would say the advice to simply re-write a musical composition so that bass and kick don't happen at the same time seems to

  Yep, nice catch. Edited. Re-arranging is definitely one 'solution' and the only real approach when you're talking music played live on acoustic instruments. It's one of the elements of good orchestral music I find most fascinating - that many sources of noise, each playing their part and either perfectly blending or completely juxtaposing one another. I'd argue that using all the various forms of DSP at your disposal when working with sound in the recorded / amplified sense (and especially electronic music) is an equally valid aesthetic choice. Different limitations, different capabilities and difference aesthetic possibilities for different mediums.

  In electronic music, mix aesthetics is quite often exactly the musical intent - you're trying to create a track that sounds a certain way first, and think about melodies and harmonies (if you even have them) second. You would often pick specific key and bassline because of how low frequencies (55-110 Hz octave and below) sound in the mix on your intended equipment. You would even distinguish between open-air and club tracks sometimes because of how open space affects sonic qualities of your mix.
