Mr. Joseph said noise can effect body with accustical shocks and have proper/ inproper sounds. He also stated no sound is bad, that there is racism in music, and there is anti-noise propaganda. He feels we all have to listen. As far as history he he feels alot of minorities brought in music (noise).
George Lewis showed a painting of slaves and talked about slave music/ black noise. He said the blacks were angry and hard to understand. He gave a noise example of drums and a woman yelling from 1960. He feels noise evades, is any sound any where, is dreams hypnotic states, and are sensoriums of modernity. Lewis states noise can interfere with intentional process and noise advertises because it blocks and interferes. We also use human intelligence for sound/ noise, use random noise, and he personally uses computer music.
Tony Conrad says "they're all noise musicians in the 20th century". And that all art is "pop". He says all sound block and disrupt. He feels there is harmonic complexes.
Arto who is a noise musician says most noise poeple can read and write music (except him). He says NYC is noisy, that noise is not neccessarily aggressive, and it is an all encompassing sound. Arto feels noise is a pleasure and that "sound obliterates subjectivity"
I wish there was more examples from the panel, in that they showed more of their work. The panel was interesting especially being in the Sonic Measures class, I felt as though I could truly relate. It was interesting hearing the histories of "noise music" and I learned that music is is noise. My question is what comes next? What happens after all music is noise?
