Good point, so: there is a primal connection really? Also,  factories were 
made by humans, and so they are a part of nature, all is part of nature... 
so,  factories, cities, cars, etc., have a primal connection too?

Jajaja, you are right, all those MIDI ringtones from celular phones too... 
it's not so beautiful...
