Jowcol,
For me: go on with the "dissonants". Jolivet is stil a composer who wrote many modern, but listenable/enjoyable music.
And as stated before: not the method, but the sounds makes the music. My listening habit is from the romantics to the more modern composers and back.
So thanks

I don't plan on holding back on the "dissonant" composers- but I thought it may help to label those which some people may not want to download if they prefer more tonal works. (Actually, in some cases, I think it is more of a lack of melodic lines than dissonance or a lack of tonality that some don't care fore. ) My listening habits are all over the map, and much outside of "classical music.) I just like instrumental music that accomplishes what it sets to to do.
