Nothing is nothing. While Otomo Yoshihide played on a record player without a record and another one played on the sampler with no samples, we played Bob Ostertag. He is politically involved, but what is he doing? Mixing the political speeches/ statements/ archived material with sounds and turning it into music? Music = aestetics = beauty. Suffering = beauty? Not good. Don't make sound drama out of human drama. It becomes cheap propaganda.
Music is structured sound (sound drama) - cleaned from the remains of chaos (-> noise). There are different levels of amplification/ filtering. The more artificial - the worse. Do you want to hear the sound of atoms? All you need is electrical amplification (from an electrical plant the size of a small city). Technology is omnipotent. In art it has always been with technology that we project the visions. But beware of the overamplification.
