Otomo Yoshihide guitar solo Tokyo 1994

Excellent playing, thanks for the vid

This guy just blows me away, where does music like this take place?

all over the place. possibly in your city as well.

Nice!!!

some of the parameters of this piece are..
the guitar, the tuning, the effects (possibly harmonizer?) the physicality of attack.
there is sometimes a verticality in terms of seperation of registers.. the open sound of the guitar vs the higher almost altissimo-like screaming .. and obvious overtone series manipulation.
there is order in this piece.. there are a limited number of compositional devices he's working with here. the result may be unpleasing to your ear but there is method in this.

sound is the basis of music. just because we've imposed order on sound doesnt make it any more or less appealing. essentially music is the conduit to the experience of sound.
and thats besides the point.. there is order and composition in this clip. just because it isnt fixed to a 12 tone tempered grid doesnt make it any less or more musical. interpretation and appreciation is subjective and very individualistic. this is very much music.

sound is not bound by something like language.
it is much more anomalous in nature.
it does not require syntax or associations to be understood. a sound is a sound regardless of its associations or context.
beauty is an affirmation of being..
the excellence/essence of truth and originality.

I guess we're talking about two different perspectives. You're right. Sound only has physical parameters (frequency, amplitude, volume, etc.) and does not require syntax or context. Of course there is beauty in sound. But music must have parameters/rules/order so that it can be interpreted by the listener, same as language. Otherwise everyone's "interpretation" will be different and not what the "musician" wants to convey. You are talking about sound, I am talking about music.This is not music.

there is order in sound. there is order outside the parameters of our chosen methods of 'control'. order is all pervasive. just because we impose an 'order' on sound it doesnt mean sound has its own. and even in this case with otomo... there is clearly order in terms of physical execution, his choice of sound generation and even timbral/tonal areas.
the thing is.. breaking this down in such an intellectual manner is funny.. because the visceral appeal of this music is the key.

you are clearly confused.
if you dont like what you hear... theres no point in debating this.
text is symbolic.. sound is not symbolic. music does not have any general or absolute rules. in order to achieve a specific effect one needs to understand the form of a particular idiom. not everyone wants to paint by numbers though.
nothing is wrong here.
everyone is attuned to different vibrations in different ways.
your absolutism is ridiculous and fascistic.
