"Aritificial"?
Do you mean "subjective"?
Or actually constructed?

At any rate, none of these views implies that the distinction is meaningless.

Noise becoming music, music becoming noise.

Nothing new.

Bang two rocks together. When does it become music? Draw a line in the sand.

I say "tomato", you say "samba".

Subtractive synthesis begins with pure noise.

The Art of Noise is paranoid.

Bad music is more offensive than noise.

The road to bad music is paved with good intentions. Intensions. Whatever.

What's that noise?
Do you have any drums in your house?

I'd rather be a trainspotter than a nail.

Love in the age of sampling.

Intellectual property values are down; there goes the neighborhood.

If you'll excuse me, I seem to have deconstructed my own mind.
