Many years ago I was playing with a music creation application. On a lark, i button mashed and created a random sequence of dissonant chords of random lengths.

Many years ago I was playing with a music creation application. On a lark, i button mashed and created a random sequence of dissonant chords of random lengths. It sounded as awful as you would expect. I took this sequence and repeated it several times. About 15 years later I can still remember exactly how it sounded, and remember it eventually becoming pleasant to my ear.

I can somehow relate to this. You know that Human Music from Earth Radio (1)? I only listened it once and now I can't get it out of my head. Don't know why my brain thinks it's significant enough for maybe my survive(???). I don't even like it. 1: https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Human_Music https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Human_Music

  Original human music song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S1jWdeRKvvk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S1jWdeRKvvk With repeated notes/chords and drums this becomes... music! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OB2ekdVqPnk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OB2ekdVqPnk

Haha, maybe more of us have had this experience than I thought. My parents bought me a little electronic keyboard when I was young and lots of times I would play some sequence of notes and they'd suddenly sound really nice. Like I'd made something. Well, I had no music theory so it was probably just total crap that had started sounding nice to me.

  If you by chance played all of the white keys only, it would sound "nice" because you are playing the C major scale.

> and remember it eventually becoming pleasant to my ear I have a similar experience with quarter-tone music. I used to experiment with it a little bit and created a short theme[0] for one of my characters that utilized multiple quartertones, as opposed to just semitones that are used in usual Western music. I remember that it sounded alien and way off when I created it and shortly afterwards. Now, it sounds... ordinary. I got used to it and found enjoyment in how it sounds.
