The Japanese/American Noise Treaty 2xCD 1995 (320)


"The world we live in now is full of cut-up sounds. Birds, drills, car engines, coughing, snoring, etc. This complex evironment is what John Cage used to illustrate that "music" is everywhere. But, what exactly is music? That is a question the individual must answer for him/herself. I personally believe that large quantities of so called "noise", as well as the complexities of chaos, contain structure. Mathematically, chaos can be bizarre, but our human minds stretch much farther than what we ascertain on the surface of sensory perception. Noise has structure, but it is up to the individual to find it. This MUSIC is an objective experience. A noise recording is the universe speaking. Listen and learn." --Esoeric, 2000
