If a became a composer that makes classical music, my dream piece would be called "3'44". It would be the antithesis of John Cage's 4'33, simply because while John Cage's piece is pure silence, 3'44 would be pure noise. Throughout the duration of the piece, every musician would be playing their all as loud as possible. The premier performance of the piece would be an entire orchestra, with lots of string, brass, woodwind, percussion, keyboard, and choral musicians, playing loudly all at the same time.

Groundbreaking.


Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.
You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.

In other genres, yes, but I have yet to see such a thing done In classical music.

With atonality in "classical" music, many have already consider it to be just noise...

But doesn't all that have actual written scores? This particular piece wouldn't have any of that, just having musicians playing freely.
