Keil argues that the power of music lies in participatory discrepancies, of two kinds, processual (beat, groove, swing) and textural, and that music must be 'out of time' and 'out of tune'.
"The power of music is in its participatory discrepancies, and these are basically of two kinds: processual and textural. Music, to be personally involving and socially valuable, must be "out of time" and "out of tune." [...] For "process" one could substitute "beat," "drive," "groove," "swing," "push," etc."
