Music...what is it?
The classical definition is " Music is an art form in which the medium is sound organized in time. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture."
To me, Music or noise (or drone) is anything that you want it to be. I hear music in everyday things, fans, car tires rolling down a street, wind blowing through leaves, etc.
Sure, Music can be "formal or organized"....but like life it's self, it's rather random (to me anyways).
So lately, I've been futzing around with my synths, effect pedals, and the so on and making soundscapes, drones, noise , music or whatever you want to call it.
On my page I've posted 2 youtube videos (more to follow) of me playing around with some noise makers ( in one case a korg kaoscillator and the other being a bleep labs
thingamagoop) and running them through pedals.
Eventually I'd like to get some cheapy microphones (or contact mics) and a old tape recorder, and just tape random things. Run the sounds through the myriad of effects I have. Think Merzbow meets John Zorn (with out the talent of course).
Will I become rich or famous? Not likely. Will I be on MTV ? G0d forbid. Will I possibly annoy the people next door with the "sounds"? Probably so. And will I have fun sitting down and making this noise? But of course. Life is pretty boring doing the "right things".. the "conventional things" , the "expected things".
Join me on my excursion into the wonderful world of music, of noise, of life !
