I get it CITY, only your reviewer is allowed to spit dismissive bile with condescension. Don't get your "feewings huwt" just because you sent someone who is profoundly ignorant of this type of music to review it and then chose to publish his, frankly, embarrassing review (Berne's music is HEAVILY composed. His bands play the composed elements with the precision and consistency of the best classical musicians alive.) So yes it is notated (someone "wrote it down"). If you publish the statement that the work of an internationally acclaimed composer" sounded like a gaggle of geese fucking ," don't be surprised if people think the reviewer sucks. I could have asked my 4 year old nephew his opinion and gotten a more thoughtful response.
