How many combinations are there to the eight notes in an octave? I realize that I am not a mathematician by any means but surely there is limit to the combinations possible. Especially to those combinations that sound pleasing to the ear.
I used to think that a lot of what they pass for music nowdays was the result of talentless songwriters and even less talented performers. Maybe it's not their fault. At least not that of the songwriters. Maybe over the course of human history they have just slowly limited their possibility of achieving original content and slowly started to work themselves out of a job? Maybe that's why there have been so many redone songs in the past decade.
All the good ones have already been taken.
