I mean, the horns just produce chaos. Atonality. There's beauty in that. The contrast, the fervor, the uproar... Ten times more impacting than any smooth-faced instrumental bit off of OKC.
I hope you realize, this entire site is to discuss noise. There's only one song I can name that doesn't have noise in it, and even such song, can be called noise. And no, I probably couldn't listen to your abstract jazz for more than a couple minutes. Why should I be forced to? I prefer tonality and tranquility in a piece. Is that really so bad? I admitted my mistake in calling Radiohead Avant Garde. I also said I don't really like avant garde that much either. Or free jazz, or any music without a definite structure to it. And no I don't want to argue over what structure means. Different strokes for different folks, eh?
