03.SCENE BUT NOT HERD

I'm unsure what to think about Kenneth Goldsmith's article. In one way, he shines a light (holds a microphone up to?) an over-'looked' form of art, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if it's that overlooked at all. He tries to make a distinction between Experimental Music and Sound Art, and I'm pretty sure Sound Art is Experimental Music on a pedestal (or, conversely, Experimental Music is Sound Art with a record label).
I'm a big proponent of 'pop' in the sense that if something hits a cultural nerve, it's subjectively 'good' for the time being. If it hits a humanistic nerve, it's deemed 'timeless', but in turn will also be 'pop' so I won't go on about that distinction.
My point is his last paragraph talks about ART as something 'people do'. I don't believe this is true. As for Sound vs. Music, I see it as: It's sound art until enough people get it... then it's Experimental... and then it's "Sub-Genre"... and finally it's "Pop".
It's just got to have it's 'scene' first. Then the rest follow.


Perhaps over a cliff.
