art doesnt appear for arts sake, sorry to say. use all the Nietzsche quotes you want, “Art is the proper task of life”.
heres the clincher:
"We are saved by technology. I mean, our music would not be able to progress without the help of digital recording technology."
this proves right there that your "art" isnt spontaneous since it is mediated by technology that comes from intense divsion of labor, the butchering of nature and is backed by a ridiculous industry that needs it to be recorded, archived, commodified and codified in order to have any value.
not impressed.

I think you're dissecting their words too much. First of all, what they could be talking about as being spontaneous is the creation of their actual music and ideas. They could conceive everything before hand, then create it with whatever they need, technology wise. Second of all, who the hell cares? Have you HEARD THIS BAND? THEY'RE BRILLIANT, who cares what they say, they obviously know how to create beauty and art.
