I read your "dialogue", and I would say that I understand you both because I listen to both kinds of music - tonal/atonal. I really knew noise music before I started to listen to classical music so I'm kinda walking backwards.

some_guy, I'm curious about what have you been listening. I need some good advice on minimal, electroacustical, serial, atonal, whatever, music. I was listening to a sample by La Monte Young and it was the worst thing I ever heard, I need some ground here. I like noise but not this noise. And I'm also sleepy.

See you soon.

PS: I was wondering about emotions... were do cerebral music and emotional music meet? I think I found some "meetings" but I don't know if you'll like the answer, and I don't really know how to explain. You were talking about music for the intelect, sound for the sake of sound (isn't there the "art for the art's sake"? - music was late!), and Zlya was talking about emotions and I perfectly understood it. So atonal music is the complete desconstruction of harmony? of expectation? Were are the emotions? And what are we talking about here? About intelectual emotion or about other kind of emotion that we could compare to the lost "aura" of Walter Benjamin?

See you tomorrow.
