It is indeed a thing. Some people are really into it. Some friends of mine probably would have been riveted by that butter knife show. I recommend reading the RYM reviews for Merzbow, which contain both yours and fans' takes: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/merzbow/pulse-demon/ https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/merzbow/pulse-demon/
And it goes deeper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsh_noise_wall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harsh_noise_wall
> The movement is spearheaded by French musician Vomir, who described his aesthetic as "no ideas, no change, no development, no entertainment, no remorse"

- fluoridation 4y agoI've heard Merzbow before; I think it was the Pulse Demon album, actually. While I won't comment on whether it's art or not, I don't think it meets any of the criteria for "music" other than being audible sound. No rhythm, no notes, no harmony, and barely any discernible structure.
- lelandfe 4y agoAnd the noise genre is even more easily classed as "music" than other outliers, like musique concrète. Are ambient recordings music? Some would say yes! It is surely an interesting conversation to find where each person's limit for "music" (or art!) resides.
