The Aesthetics of Noise-Response

Today in class I read "The Aesthetics of Noise" by Torben Sangild.

"...noises are the sounds that are discarded as being impure, unmusical."

Sangild's article got me thinking about sounds in a new way. Noise is so different than music. Noises can be ugly, they can be annoying, they can be confusing. I think it is beautiful to take this rejected noises and combine them and manipulate them into something beautiful.
