Sound Of Animals Fighting, The - There Can Be No Dispute That Monster Live Among Us lyrics

rate me

New music, new listening,

Not an attempt to understand something.

That is said for if something were being said.

The sounds would be given the shapes of words

Just an attention to the activity of sound.

New means change the method, new means change the experience

And new experiences change man.

Whenever we hear sounds we are changed,

We are no longer the same.

After hearing certain sounds

And this is more the case

When we hear organized sounds,

Sounds organized by another human being.

Music, our entire system of values

Of the things we accept to be true

Is based on the visual sounds.

You have to sign a paper because your word is not enough to be trusted.

As a result the acoustic faculty in human beings has declined

As it has become possible to define a continum between sounds and noises.

Vompletely new problems have come up when we compose or play intuitively

Because we have no training whatsoever in balancing tones and noises.

Traditionally in western music

Noises have been taboo

And there are precise reasons for this.

It has become from began from the time

When staff notations were introduced

Traditionally in western music

Noises have been taboo

And there are precise reasons for this.

It began from the time when staff notations were introduced

And music could be noted in precise intervals for the first time.

Then it was mainly vocal music

Some predominantly with vowels rather than consonants.

If I sing a melody of consonants now, people would say it isn't music

We have no tradition of music composed in these sounds

And no notation for it.

There you see how narrow our concept of music is

From having excluded consonants, the noises

Of course you find consonants in vocals music,

But only in order to make a word comprehensible.

That's the function of a consonant in our daily language,

To clarify the meaning.

But in a musical sense

Consonants have no function other than as accents.

S or t or p or k

To start or end sound clearly

I respond to sounds directly

Sound is my air

Whenever I deal with sounds they organize themselves, so to speak

They respond very well to me

And I to them.
