All Music Represents Some Philosophical Presupposition part 2

            It is of little wonder to me that many 21^st century musicians compose music that consists of all or nearly all tension and distortion.  These composers are faithless because they are looking for answers without coming under the “way” or lordship of Christ.  It is no wonder their music is so tense and grotesque since it is a mere reflection of their philosophy that man exists in a purposeless universe trying to authenticate himself through an act of his will.

         These composers and performers have never passed from death unto life, so they have never experienced the “new and living way.”  They are searching for truth within themselves.  It is sad but most often they will never come to the knowledge of truth because they will not accept Christ who is “the way the truth and the life.”  I Timothy 3:7 explains that they are “ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”  This hopeless searching for truth often makes these musicians bitter, confused, and sometimes nihilistic.  Their philosophy is distorted therefore their music is distorted because it represents their worldview.  To accomplish this effect they use fuzz guitars and distorted sounds on keyboards and turn the volume up until the speakers distort while they literally scream out the vocal lyrics in an un-vocal manner.
