....It is a shame folks don't get something and feel a need to tell the world about how "there is nothing there musically...". I just don't get that. The point was not about playing ability for either video I posted, it was about compositional elements. Anyway, if you know anything about sevillanas (meaning how to play it, dance it, or sing it or even just do palmas or percussion for it so you know the structure and form and can stop at the right time) then the "disjointedness" of the guitar duo disappears, the strangeness of the harmonies come into focus and the tightness of the rhythmic expression jumps out and smacks you in the face, it is very intense and cool twist they put into a very old static form. I am in no way trying to be argumentative here, so please don't take this as such. Music, to me has to be pleasing to my ears. Neither of those pieces were. They were "interesting" to both watch and listen to, but I couldn't (and wouldn't) take a steady diet of them. I think the two statements you made are why "clinical" comes into play here. If you study them, you can see their technical qualities, but that doesn't make them anymore pleasing to my ears. I think that is the point, why they are "clinical" and less musical to me. JMO; I don't profess in anyway to be an expert and confess that I am, perhaps, somewhat musically shallow. Just a matter of likes and dislikes.
