Just seeing whether someone agrees with this. I used to seek technical music, because I perceived that adding more and more means more interesting compositions. As an artist example consider e.g. Venetian Snares.
Goes very technical, but lately I've thought that it eats up compositional depth, because the tracks become more reminiscent of technical exercise, rather than "feeling", which I think is central to music. Then feeling does not, in fact, relate to technicality directly. There can be a lot of feeling in technically childish music. Put otherwise, the tracks are technically superior, but they are uninteresting and contain no feel. They don't play in my head after hearing them. I can't remember what was played in them or what was said in them.
