- Angostura 10y agoI'm pretty sure that was some Schoenberg actually.
- konschubert 10y agoI respect if others discover meaning in this music. To me it sounds like a child's scribble.
- pmoriarty 10y agoI find the art of children to often be much more unaffected, creative, and interesting than that of most adult artists. In fact, so do some adult artists themselves, who admire and even seek to themselves emulate the art of children.
- vessenes 10y agoWell, it was designed in the 1970s, at a time when experimental musicians were were thinking about what was next after the sort of post-Dada deconstruction of music, and how computers might fit in to that. Like this is the time, approximately, when Laurie Anderson has got analog tape affixed to a bow of her violin and is bowing the tape, and is about just go bat-shit crazy with MIDI for things like Oh Superman in the early 1980s. So, drawing is cool. Avant-garde musical experimentation is cool. It may not have a beat, but it's possible you could dance to it, with the right perspective. :)
