Songs that can't be represented as sheet music shouldn't

Worshiping western classical music like it's the be all end all of music is pretty much the plebeist thing you can do.

can a strange arctic creature yodeling into a backwards red megaphone be represented as sheet music?

>>69893671
You could probably represent almost anything with proper notation. I can't think of anything you couldn't at least approximate really well.

>>69894579
Yes, with a squiggle on the staff and the words "strange arctic creature yodeling into a backwards red megaphone" over it.

>>69893671
Anything can be notated on sheet music. Maybe not in staff form, but notation nonetheless

I remember reading a paper by Stockhausen and two other authors about notating the type of electronic music that Stockhausen and other electronic composers composed. It was some crazy sort of ridiculous stuff that they described, but I guess staff form looks crazy compared to old neumatic stuff

Of course.

Composers can write any special instructions on their sheet music. For example, Beethoven wrote on Moonlight Sonata that "Si deve suonare tutto questo pezzo delicatissimamente e senza sordino" - "This whole piece ought to be played with the utmost delicacy and without damper"

There is also percussion notation - with a key of any specified sound. For example, you could mark three beats as "xI" on a staff, noting that it indicates a fart is to be made by the performer, with an added fermata. In this short piece, a performer simply farts three times. The farts are of a length chosen by the performer, at least longer than their indicated length.

Musical notation is wondrous, isn't it?

So what is the aim of music then? How is art anything else but the ego's exploration of its capacity for emotion?

Man, I've searched an explanation on those weird looking partitures that I usually see paired with Stocky's music, but I couldn't find anything.
Maybe I didn't try hard enough, but do you have a source.

am I doing it right?

>>69894995
add "in One Movement" to the title to add to the pretentiousness a bit.

Based. Thanks so much.
