Music

Mainstream is so dead. 

Now I only have neoclassics like Philip Glass and alternatives of the alternatives, gang gang dance and some stuff from moon wiring.

Sound seem to defy the genre these days. I feel sick of splitting music apart on their tonal patterns-genres-since they don't seem to exist anymore. Or did they ever really exist? I don't know.

I can only think of three kinds of instruments that are distinct enough to have its own 'genre.' Violins, pipe organs, and electronic. By electronic, I mean electronic. Machine-made, electric frequency dependent, algorithm built stuff. The kind of stuff you can play Riemann manifold as a music, provided that you can algorithmi-fy the thing first, which is fully doable. The physical instruments themselves might be laptops or your cellphones, who cares. -anything that can play stuff. Composed of chip, input and output. Would output even have to be sound? What about frequencies of radiation?

The three kinds of instruments are the only ones that makes the cut for the 'musical high' for me these days. I'm probably too sick to death of all the dull, whitewashed stuff the hipsters seem to pump out these days. They're all beginning to sound like white noise, except that these ones must be paid for and are designed in such a way to affect hormone production from my brain. Which makes it worse than white noise. 

(((now that I think about it, I've never seen an exhibition at MoMA that utilizes snow crash. What gives people?)))

The whole issue makes me think about music and music composing. How is it any different from a specialty branch of mathematics?

If one form of information can be effectively translated into another, what will the universe sound like?
