Music does not exhaust its essential qualities, but these may become superfluous to the discriminating listener.
But beyond the essential components-- instrumentation, tempo, rhythm, melody, harmony, percussion-- the listener no longer hears what can be called music, but undefined sounds in indeterminate forms.
As nothing more than inarticulate outbursts, such sounds are of no consequence.
Wrought with aesthetic purpose, however, they are of far-reaching impact and will ultimately have profound significance, rendering what is now the common fare obsolete.
