Go for it, Jeff.
What we need now, for the real next revolution to occur, is to stop thinking about how music changes in terms of harmonic shifts.
Now we need to think it terms of shifts in meaning and shifts in context.

cage removed the ego from composition.
the next step is to remove composers entirely.
Question and a comment:
What does 'JH' stand for in, "...and simultaneously have an amazing JH electronic realization."
You could change your vocabulary and you might achieve a change in attitude. Ephemeral, rather than fragile, makes it sound almost pleasant. As in, "Oh, what ephemeral pleasure my shiny compact discs bring me..."
On a serious note, this has been causing librarians and archivists to lose sleep. We are putting so much faith in digital mediums to document our lives in ways that are not even remotely as durable as good ol' fashioned paper. It would be interesting to see what pieces that do not have the backing of institutions and universities are still around in 75 years...
