I agree. As for noisy / chaotic music, I don't enjoy listening to hours of it on end, but some of it is decent. If the noise adds nothing to the song, or if the song simply consists of noise, I do not approve. However, songs which are enhanced by the noise they contain are perfectly fine by me. EDIT: And I'm listening to "Helter Skelter," probably the loudest and most chaotic Beatles song ever. Good song. And we have reached eighteen pages.

Music isn't meant to be architecture, it's meant to be art. You wouldn't want to support your house with Munch's Scream, just as you wouldn't want to spend time staring at a steel beam. Think of watching a horror movie and at the big tense moment, when the murderer brandishing a length of barbed-wire for a garrotte is moments from lunging at the unsuspecting victim, the bozo next to you remembers a funny joke and starts laughing and snorting. If you're into the movie at all, you'd be pretty pissed off. It's the same with classical - you (or rather "I," since I'm just speaking for myself in this case) become so immersed in the music that a petty discraction really ticks you off. And it also depends on how much you're into the music - when I've got Bach preludes playing in the background, I really don't care about other noise. Speaking of Bach, his 15th prelude in G from Book 2 of the WTC is playing. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1614 | Registered: Wednesday, January 23 2002 08:00 |

There is beauty in subtlety and delicacy of sound. I suppose there is in noise, too. *shrug* It's not for everyone. That lady, for instance, had been asleep at the time. I've just listened to Handel's Messiah in its entirety. I find it interesting that %60 of the audience knew the appropriate moment to stand up (beginning of the Hallelujah chorus). The rest stood up from peer pressure. -------------------- From many a wondrous grot and secret cell Unnumbered and enormous polypi Winnow with giant fins the slumbering green.

Maija Vilkkumaa: "Ei saa surettaa". Currently perhaps the best rock singer in Finland. And the piece is simply one of the best I've ever heard, in any cathegory and on any scale. EDIT: This is the second time I'm listening to it. Damn! It really is good. Have to buy it. My wallet cries blood.
