It depends on your capacity of sounding in a musical way using just white noise. Schoenberg resulted amazingly musical using no harmony. Or what about John Cage using a detuned piano, or Ligeti using a hundred metronomes.
Schoenberg used lots of harmony. He wrote a textbook on harmony. His atonal systems even had some highly-developed ways of using harmony. I think I'll write a piece for a hundred and one metronomes. It won't sound anything like the Ligeti piece. This is a genre that really needs to be developed. I too laugh at the idea of someone buying a 60 minute CD of pure white noise. The novelty is cute, but how do you know the composer whose name is on the album really composed that white noise? Maybe he plagiarized someone else's 60 minutes of white noise. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
