noise music

the term is an oxymoron — a dadaist joke

music = sculpting in space and time

textures, indeterminacy, music you can touch

Mingus-type hollering jazz cacophony + noisy

this record is somehow not pure noise, not “noise rock”, but perfectly suspended in between

supposedly solo piano @ Cafe OTO 2009

John Cage on Silence

John Cage Discusses Fluxus, 1992

Fluxus Manifesto, 1995

noise pop

noise rock

Merzbow on improvisation

art pop and sound design

what makes a song catchy is like what makes a joke funny

catchy is not just about melodies. any aspect of music can be catchy

resampling, delays, granulators, resonators, texture mode warping
