Noise Music .... :-)


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noise music is a sub-genre of experimental music constructed from oise as opposed to recognisable sound or pitches. "Noise" music is egarded by some as a contradiction in terms, because "noise" is enerally defined as unwanted and undesigned or unintentional sound and music as the opposite (see definition of music). However, "noise" n a more general sense refers to any extremely loud or discordant sound, and that these sounds are often the basis of noise music. econdly, as famous noise musician Masami Akita (who records under the name Merzbow) said, "If by noise you mean uncomfortable sound, then pop music is noise to me." Noise music is not necessarily "noise" to the listeners, although it is certainly "noisy" in the more general sense of the term. ractitioners themselves do not generally refer to it as "Noise Music"; they just call it "Noise", tacking the term "music" on the nd is an explanatory device only necessary among outsiders.
