Interesting. But I wonder, 100 years on, if it's more noise that we want? I think about how in some ways music isn't nearly as special as it used to be because we hear it constantly when it used to be a rare treat ... and of course we also hear noises constantly - the buzzing of machines, cars passing by, etc - in some ways it seems that this makes one ache for the kind purity of sound that this author dismisses as being old hat ... but I can also see the point of constantly hearing noise making the ear ready to hear symphonies of noise. Anyway - I've done some noise based things before (and listened to quite a bit of Cage, Stravinsky, Schoenberg ... classical music that may be heard as "noise" to people who've only heard Bach) so ... I don't know. I'm going to think about it some more and listen to some noise music and see if any interesting inspiration strikes.
