Agreed - music for pussies. Get some Merzbow into you, ladies! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3JH2kJH94

It should be said that my taste runs more towards Pat Metheney than noise artists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9vfzPA95yM

Then again, for those who believe Pat M is all about arty fusion music and smooth jazz, here's a snippet from an earlier album during a period of depression: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0JPGo9woRo - not what one would expect! That's a true musical artist - they play what they feel rather than sticking to formulas.

Yes Greta, good that you can appreciate it! I like the fact the this music is mostly ad free even on youtube. They don't want to be associated with it. Cheers.

And noise. Did you post something just to say what you don't like? :/

Pluto, I use an adblocker for YouTube. Today my listening is less adventurous than in the past, but I do tend towards weird music, although these days more demanding of beauty. In the past I was satisfied with the buzz of clever or energetic, even when the music did not sound good. I suppose, as with music, art need not be beautiful, depending on what the artist wants to convey.

However, these days I don't want ugly, profound art on my wall any more than I want ugly, profound music in my ears. It seems to relate to ageing. Increasingly feeling harsh and loud sounds feel like an "assault", whereas I used to interpret them as exciting and invigorating.

You should be picking me up!

That could be the pressure of society to conform or that you are evolving musically!

Re: "pressure of society to conform". I tried for many years but I'm not good at playing "normal", although if I'm in the right mood I can fake it fairly convincingly for an hour or two before I get bored and jittery and need to refuel.

The change in taste, I think, partly maturity but maybe what happens organically when one becomes less physically robust with age.

It's simple, cause t's made for a simple machine. And it's beautifull, cause it's simple and not pretencious. Go and listen some broken cristals
