Schoenberg used lots of harmony. He wrote a textbook on harmony. His
atonal systems even had some highly-developed ways of using harmony.
I think I'll write a piece for a hundred and one metronomes. It won't
sound anything like the Ligeti piece. This is a genre that really
needs to be developed.
I too laugh at the idea of someone buying a 60 minute CD of pure white
noise. The novelty is cute, but how do you know the composer whose
name is on the album really composed that white noise? Maybe he
plagiarized someone else's 60 minutes of white noise.
