The past weekend's FL Noise Report was big on noise and all else. It existed as a place for folks who might not have a home to have a home...at least for 15 minutes. Homeys. A good friend, and experienced musician, Tom Smith, told me and all others that genre is obsolete. I think he's onto something. However, in the presence of Rob Thomas' new recording, or the sound of the my garage door opening and closing, I find that noise is a more accurate term for my sonic interests. Yes, the originators of the Noise product are gone or retired or doing different things or calling music by different names, but by using Noise as a descriptive, the FL Noise Report brought in folks who wanted to rework Grand Funk Railroad, dance relentlessly, leave the room or stay and watch folks trying to get to a place that was freeing. Pop music can get you there, and I like Pop. Michael, RIP. I like Van Halen. I like Xenakis. I loved Obliterati. Silver Apples = good stuff. How about Gershwin? You bet. Perry Como? Not so much. I'm no judge.

some ideas for "noise"? those who wish to avoid signifying melody, music, time signatures, now intend to do so? Bailey as an aesthetic object? rock and sop to the atonal tones?
BTW should be "now do so with out intending to do so"

"noise" is to "avant garde" as "punk" is to "music"
ReplyDeleteHi friends-
ReplyDeleteI have to say "yes" to what you both wrote because I am a "yes man" and also, as you may not know, a tax collector.
