		Chapter 14 Quotes and the K.I.S.S. Principle



		There's only so much CONTROL or worse, LACK OF CONTROL that a person or society or music can take. (I remember a period of time after the annual Barbequed Baked Beans Competition in which I was the sole judge that I personally do not wish to relive ever again, thank you very much).



		By the 1960s composers in general said ''Enough of serialism, already"



		or "I'm tired of the 12-Tone method"



		or "Remember when music was ENJOYABLE and didn't require a PhD. to listen to it?"



		or "etcetera."



		And so, two (2) new trends started developing and they were:



		1. Quotation Music



		and 2. Minimalism (or following the K.I.S.S. principle; i.e. "Keep It Simple, Stupid!")



		This time, I shall discuss number one firstly and then secondly, number two.
