at what point does sound become music?
KharBevNor:
My favourite track of absolute silence is Type O Negative - The Misinterpretation of Silence and It's Disastrous Consequences. Not only because it has a cool title, but because they put it as one of the tracks on their best-of CD.
Now THAT's self-deprecation.
zekterellium:
i have that song!
i heard a trance dj was being smarmy and saying he sampled it, so cage's estate sued him... and won.
Robbo:
Noise can certainly be used for music...it's all the intent thing again. I listen to a lot of noise stuff and experimental electronica type stuff. Things like Ulver just having the hum off feedback from their guitar amps for 5 mins, slowly building up as they turn stuff on, waving as they lower and raise the levels ...before slow electronic sounds kick in then they start playing...that's music.
Or found-sound, like Khar's track Solar Symphony..using things various space signals and bleeps to create some atmospheric eletronica works..again still music.
Me And The Moon Car:
The answer lies in the only six-letter word in the English language containing only consonants.
Merkava:
I like to think of a moment on the always brilliant show, Angel. This quote comes from Lorne. I'm kind of paraprhasting here, though.
"You know, I can hold a high note for an eternity, but really, after a while, it's just sound; white noise. It's not the notes that make music, but the change of notes."
