Reading, from Audio Culture:
Henry Cowell, “The Joys of Noise.” pp. 22 – 24
“The Beauty of Noise: an Interview with Masami Akita of Merzbow.” pp. 59 – 61
Since both are talking about noise as musically pleasurable occurrence, write me a couple of short sentences for each article that illustrates how they describe this pleasure.
Cowell was an American 20th-century composer who greatly expanded the performance technique of the piano, often credited with discovering inside-the-piano performance possibilities.
Merzbow is a noise-electronica artist. You can hear a couple of tracks on his MySpace page.
