Experimental/noise music is certainly not for everyone.

This is very true. That said, OP, keep doing what you're doing. I'll be blunt, anyone who doesn't consider this music is ignorant.

It's coo' if you don't like it (I don't either), but it's clearly music. It's an arrangement of sounds to an artist's liking, that's all music is.

If poetry can be considered music, so can this. It's abstract and weird, but it's music.

P.S: I actually bought this. For variety.

[TubaDude49]

Music is the composed arrangement of sound and silence. This fits.


That being said, I would never buy this

Experimental music can be really delightful to listen to, but this is just random noise, there's nothing unique in it. Everybody can record some farts, their vacuum cleaner & microwave, fudge around with it a bit on their computer and call it art, but there's just zero talent involved.

Nice to see my argument went completely avoided.

I bought the song and I enjoyed it musically, chart-wise, not so much. The bass chart was fun, but the keys was mindlessly a barrage of notes that I couldn't even hear, and the guitar didn't feel all that noteworthy. I'll probably buy your other two songs because of the variety that they'll offer for the platform, but this is a very niche project you have going on here.

Of course it's music. Something can be music and an atrocity simultaneously.

Yeah, this is pretty much how I feel too.

Don't worry FlyGuy, I got your back. It's pretty clear from a few conversations these last few weeks that the Rock Band world isn't quite ready for thoroughly avant-garde material, for both valid and invalid reasons. But it's something that, frankly, needs to be approached, lest we get truly bogged down in the predictable, safe approaches to music. Something, somehow, must constantly push the envelope.

SNMT isn't simply experimental on an audio level. Its presence in Rock Band is itself an experiment. We can say in hindsight that it doesn't really work, but we wouldn't know that without trying. We wouldn't know if a capella works without trying. And it's exclusively up to Chart Toppers and SNMT to decide if the experiment worked well enough to warrant additional tracks. However...

Okay, I will admit this; I think this kind of music is not appropriate for a game, as this is the kind of stuff that just makes you sit in a chair and think, not doodle around with it on a guitar controller or keyboard. At least understand what I am trying to say is all.

....I have a hard time disagreeing with this. When I said in the "minimum requirements" thread that anything that can be classified as music could be in Rock Band, I meant it. But that doesn't mean anything that can be classified as music would work in Rock Band. Some (4'33") go beyond the edge cases and are technically unfeasible. Others (bare dialogue) just aren't fun. PON DE FIOR came close, and I'm of the opinion that a different track from the same group could break into the fun category, but yes, it's perhaps not the best selection. It wavers between repetitive and brutal without that creamy nougat center that makes for great tracks. Yet I'd rather listen to this than some of the stuff I've had to author (and I don't mean Coelacanths), simply because it's interesting. It's different. And a pox upon you all who are unwilling to try new things.
