"What I've done is sit down and play naturally as if there were no attention any sort of consistency or design other than what was immediately apparent in my head at the time."
Isn't that kind of what free jazz accomplished back in the 60s and 70s?

making "no consistency" have rhythm and beauty is really damn hard (again, imo). I don't much like jazz, but damn I wish I could play it...

All music has some value - because someone has put thought and energy into creating it.
I didn't mind your clips, though, it doesn't seem you've put much thought, or much energy into them...
After 15 seconds of each song, the energy I had put into listening had matched the energy you put in to creating, and I stopped.

@bettertomorrow I'm not really interested in what other people have achieved before me, just in my own journey through those same concepts.
For the record, this has not been an empty attempt at trolling. I suppose I could be defined as a troll in the way that you could say dadaism is trolling. It's not like the music I produced wasn't genuine though...

Bluesky, the music was painful, out of context, at times funny and disturbing. What I did not like was not the cacophony but the monotony of the soundscape and lack of distinguishable rythm (even a fluctuating one).
If you would look at it purely as a form of art then you have succeeded at squeezing out emotion - no matter positive or negative. Our disappointment is your triumph.

Also, Juddly is right in assuming I didn't put much thought or energy into any of these songs. They were simply the first thing that happened when I sat down and started playing. I tend to get bored very easily with anything that I make so I decided to adopt the "anything goes" perspective and put it on the internet to see what people thought.
Really my main goal was to expose myself to the worst of what people could say about something that I've made, and work my way upwards from there.
^This band is from my hometown of Kitchener and is a good example of how it's possible to play music that people are interested in and will even pay to go and see without having any discernible talent or even knowing how to play your instruments. Not that I like this crap...
