It
is billed as the world's ugliest music.
A long lecture by a
mathematician explains the principles of Harmony and then argues that it
is because of what he calls 'repetition' that gives all Art, including
Music its 'beauty' presumably the only interesting aspect of Art. Then
he explains how something that is not just random, but even more
'dissonant' in that it avoids all repetition must be 'ugly'. The resulting succession
of notes is played on a piano. No pair of notes have the same
interval.
Among all the negative comments attempting to ridicule the music, presumably comparing it to Pop, I wrote:
Dare I admit that I enjoyed it very much. It was the unexpectedness of
the progression that delighted me. It must be possible to generate
'harmonies' by this method so the 'music' or 'soundscape' has genuine
dissonance.
