Hah, as artwork the only thing that is relevant is our personal impressions! My impression may not be relevant to you and vice verse, but who cares?
I never said it wasn’t performance art through noise. It’s definitely performance art through noise.
It’s just that if there is any meaning to the word “music” above and beyond “structured noise” then I’m not sure this hits the bar.
@jedimastert commented below that in fact it was precisely this threshold which the artist was exploring in this piece, so instead of foreclosing on the discussion outright as somehow diminishing their work, maybe appreciate that there’s an interesting question here which actually isn’t just a matter of “turn off that god awful noise!”
