I used to have a bar regular that would get drunk and say shit like "Boulez makes Webern look like Satie". He was a wildcard.
But yeah, this sounds like a good fit for Finnegans Wake to me.

derrida was a fan of free jazz and besides interviewing ornette coleman they were also apparently close pals, so that would be the logical answer, but I'm gonna go and say anthony braxton. about the same level of genius
this is fitting
schnittke literally scored an adaptation, so yes

The answer is , as TMR subverted the building blocks of l musical convention in a way that’s proportional to how Finnegans Wake did such with literature on a word to word level

Josiah Roberts
Yeah, tmr is shit. Don didn't understand how music works so his deconstruction of conventional music ended as a mess.
Joyce on the other hand was a genius and knew language better than any human. He tore apart languages and rebuilt his own language.
Jonathan Jenkins
>tmr is shit
I think that's a little harsh. It's an incredibly rhythmically and tonally complex album made by performers who were dedicated to understanding the vision of someone who was basically a psychopath. Regardless of intent by Van Vliet, I think there's something to be gained by listening to the record and trying to understand its musical aspects, especially from the perspective of the men who had to translate it into music.
>ended as a mess
There's nothing inherently wrong with music sounding "messy"
Aiden Collins
By the way, what’s your favorite rock (not classical, jazz, or folk) album
Cooper Mitchell
Interesting take so I respect your opinion, but you’ve got to remember that music is different from literature. In music, unlike a wide range of other mediums, ameturism can actually be an amazing thing if done right (can be terrible too of course but that’s beside the point). As far as comparing tmr to literature this deep maybe you’re onto something; but as far as building a language goes, the thing about music is that no matter what, as long as it’s framed in the pretense of music, it’s music. So with this analogy, in music, even if the language is nonsense and messiness (TMR; which albeit was at least influenced by more poignant things as well but was executed just as you have described), it is still a language regardless, and it can not be a language because there will always be a relative causality.
Hunter Green
Don wasn’t a psychopath, he was an absurd narcissist and utterly self absorbed but it was all directed toward art, that was the excuse anyway. But this extends to the directions he gave and he abuse and the vague directions left for them to interpret themselves, to him these were extensions of his own “sculpting” of the music. At the end of the day though he was still just that awful of course. I do feel though that he even led out a lot more as he got older.
Juan White
He actually adapted some of the text into a song I really like. I'm trying to get the rights to cover it on an album, and the John Cage Trust told me who to contact, but that person hasn't responded to my emails.

Don was definitely also a narcissist carrying out what he thought was a perfect vision, but I think the conditions he put the other band members in to perform the album were a bit psychopathic
