Art as Noise Blog

I enjoyed reading this article. It came across to me as a call to action to branch out from traditional music to create this new form of music or art from noise. The writer explained a progression through time from times when the first chords or the first notes were discovered to our intense need to break synchronized music today. In the early days, music was considered sacred or a right of religious value. As it continued to progress through time, music was the symphony created to please the ear and take the listener to new levels of artistic understanding and appreciation. As the modern age started coming around, we began to play with music by introducing natural sounds of human life and mixing up this feel of synchronization. In contemporary "music" we explore more with noises, frequencies, perception and meaning. We are more interested in the combining and hybridizing of music or noises than the creation of something comparative to Bach or Sinatra. We strive to take simple or unique everyday noises and create compositions that are verbally compelling without necessarily being smooth or rational. This article was also a call to action. It explained how specific sound experiments would be played out and dared or provoked the viewer and the person they were referring to to recreate this challenge. This is what I have taken from the article. This was an enjoyable read.
