   As the owner of but one of these “instruments” (the kaosillator), I’d say this kind of music is often more fun to create than it is to listen to. That’s not really a criticism, as these are really fun to mess with. Not every creation needs to be album- or soundtrack-worthy.

   I’ve always compared musical creation like this to Jackson Pollack paintings: Okay to look at, but way more fun to make.
