The author of “The Art of Noise”  has redefined the relationship between music and noise by demonstrating that classical music is not solely limited to classical instruments, such as the piano and violin, but rather, any object in our daily lives that can create unique sounds. In understanding the redefined relationship between music and noise, it forces the reader to question whether noise refers to the sound of metal acoustic wood? The definition of music cannot be narrowly defined within the framework it provides. I think the development of music and art is similar. The interesting thing is that the author of this letter is an artist who presents his advice to a new musician who is in a different field of expertise but they are also similar mindsets. Just as someone wants to break the traditional mindset, they have a greater chance to open up a new world.

Noise surrounds us in every aspect of our lives. One of my favorite lines from the book is “Noise is above the human emotions.” This stays true when I listen to classical music, because I feel a calm sensation that brings feelings of relaxation and enjoyment along with it. However, as more and more pop music elements are appearing now, including electronic and rock, it astonishes me as to how classical music is capable of incorporating such unique and shocking elements. This strong sense of excitement makes me involuntarily swing and move along with the rhythm of the music, as well as another way to relax myself. When I commute to various places on the subway, I often hear the sounds of rock music leaking from other people’s headphones. This common type of music amongst generations today allows the sounds of classical music to be a profound contrast. The loud noises of the subway and the bold sounds of rock music combined together definitely form a new experience, but to see classical music being redefined to incorporate elements of bold pop and rock music, is also a new and enlightening experience in my perspective.
