"...And an old raver." explains it all. If one note or phrase repeated for an hour is the height of creative music, well enjoy your drugs. An hour of Jack Hammer banging can be interesting if you're messed up enough. But it ain't music by any measure.

But no algorithm can.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Moog synthesizers and such.
