not to mention improvisational music.
BUT i do agree in that noise should be an enjoyable listening experience (or a punishing listening experience or a soothing listening experience), that it shouldn't be wanking for the sake of wanking just as guitar solos shouldn't be. there's plenty of people doing that, even when improvising, that take you on a journey and every note and texture counts even if it's not a standard song format.
hey, i love songs, i love cheap trick; but i also like someone like masonna who just let's it rip and this pieces become something else, an entire different musical experience.

it is not about "songs". it is about STRUCTURE of some sort, any sort. even a couple or crescendos adds some sort of structure, however tenuous. otherwise it truly is sounds and not music. all sounds can be used to make music. but too many noise acts make just sounds. Ican deal with it but it is as tedious as an Interrpol show
