One man’s music could be noise for another man. Noise apparently is collection of random sounds having absolutely no pattern or periodicity. Music on the other hand have patterns, simple or complex, fast or slow in tempo. Noise also have an essential component; energy! But music can also have bursts of energy. As a teenager I thought ‘Naach meri jaan phata phut’ was great song to gyrate but later in life the same song is no more than irritating noise. Then there is folk music which probably evolved with our need to make rhythmic movement to sounds or vice versa, therefore have energy as an essential element.
And then most arts forms imitate a pattern of building up gradual tempo to reach a climactic crescendo as in classical ragas or western classical music. Pop music though begins and ends with relentless assault of energy filled percussion sounds.
Does life imitate classical style music, a pattern of gradual ripening of taste for less energy but more subtlety? In that sense music canvas of a young man is much larger as he enjoys all kinds of music without inhibitions on the other hand he has little focus nor long attention span.
