> But I see so many artists... we talk to artists, we interview them. We did a video with a guy who won lots of Grammys, works for lots of people, and he’s like, “I assemble samples in the back of my car using my MacBook Pro. I love it. This is how music is made.” > I’ve never won a Grammy for music, so I wouldn’t know about that quality.

Music, and the way it's produced and consumed, has gotten lost somewhere along the way, and this is a scathing rebuke from someone who understands it on an intimate level. It's become a (usually throwaway) commodity rather than the artform it once was. The science has moved from how to make it sound better to how to make it sell better.
