In this paper, Spiegel proposes how applying Information Theory to music composition can be a powerful approach to creating music. Spiegel begins her argument by explaining the nature of music and the different factors like repetition and noise to make it “musical.” This part was interesting to me since I knew little about music theory. While explaining the difference between random corruption, “noise,” and random generation, the author states that “music is self-referential and sensory rather than symbolic.” It made me think about the difference between what we consider noise and music, and how music, compared to visual media, is more sensory and transparent due to its momentary nature. Visual art allows the viewers to stay in the moment to contemplate and to see as long as they want. On the contrary, music is instant, and the moment we hear its sound, it has already moved on, only allowing us to feel what we feel at the exact moment. It was also interesting to see how the author says the noise is “something that makes sense in some other context” than the actual noise. I think it also applies when mixing music by overlapping different parts from two tracks to make something sound new.
