Yes. It's an interesting reading. Ken, what do you think about his
article on generative music on that book?
c.
Silence ehhh??? That could be a windfall of
bux...
I am sure that copyright of silence would include every CD that has
'silence' between any grouping of different tunes... There IS money to be
made here!!! So much for the 'art factor' of such things...
Was it too long ago when a 9th chord was considered 'way out there' even
in jazz??? It wasn't all that long ago but today a jazz piece without a
9th would be considered odd... hmmmm... what makes that...?
Let's all make music in pure sine waves... I know it has been done but has
it been taken to it true point of the art???
Yes it has.
Brian Eno, in his 1995 diary ("A Year with Swollen Appendices") goes on at
length on the topic of this thread-- basically, "What is Art?".
One of his essays includes the story of a test pressing of an early-1970's Yoko Ono
album which was sent to a music critic, and which contained an entire 20-minute side of
simply a sine wave that was put on there by the mastering engineer who didn't know the
acetate was going to be sent to the press instead of to the factory or some such place.
The critic listened to the entire record, including 20 minutes of a sine wave, liked it,
and wrote a glowing review of it.
Eno has a chuckle at the critic's expense, then goes on to make some interesting
musings about the nature of art. I enjoyed the whole book.
