There has been great "debate" over avant-garde music and it's validity in the theremin "community", albeit one sided as of late as other sides simply cannot be tolerated in some matters by some folks and I think that this study and experiment explains why patterns are not perceived as patterns until the brain has been taught to do so. http://www.acoustics.org/press/156th/deutsch.html Musicality, has to be taught, or closely repeated, for it to be registered as a music. I think it is interesting that the tune was repeated precisely by different listeners so much so that they could be multitracked as if they were working together. The music is meta or above the individual particpants. Multitracking with the theremin produces the same effect as the piece exists outside of the individual tracks and is simply put together like a puzzle. I have also noticed that differnt pieces can be played together at the same time and act as a whole, just as parts are played together to produce a piece. The form exists outside of the artist and participant. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Often, when confronted with new forms of music, it is dismissed as noise or that it all sounds alike until the patterns and forms have been learned. I have found that the more you pay attention, the more you hear music everywhere.
