Bach's a piece of piss but Coltrane ain't easy. Slint? Maybe, I'm not falling for that one again just yet. Electroacoustic? If it's what I imagine then it's mostly intuitive. As for the other two they do sound quite difficult actually.

We must also consider the complexity of performance as well.

The GRM stuff is intuitive, the Darmstadt stuff (Stockhausen) is meticulously organized but actually doesn't sound anywhere near as good. The recording process is also tedious as fuck, but that doesn't mean it's "complex".

There's no useful metric to determine complexity in the musical sense anyway, especially for stuff like musique concrete. It's ultimately a meaningless thing to think about. It doesn't translate to good or sophisticated or worth composing or listening to.
