So covering John Cage?
Came here for a John Cage reference. I hope the silent track is 4 min and 33 secs

First thing to come to my mind.
It’s his best work so far.
Legit though, I don’t get what Lisa was trying to say here.
Because the other comment wouldve completely confused me from 10 years ago let me try also phrasing it differently:
Music is fundamentally based on repetition, on top of that there are common tropes. So when a note that you (consciously or subconsciously) expect isn’t being played, that has an effect. Jazz is an example of a genre that does that a lot.
That makes a lot more sense, thank you. The other post didn’t really explain Lisa’s meaning, but I get it now. I call the physical feeling I get when I’m pleasantly surprised and pleased with the music frisson - gives me the tingles all over. Jazz doesn’t always do that for me, but there is certainly some awesome jazz out there.
What some people appreciate about jazz or other innovative genres is how they aren’t falling into the common generic tropes of that medium. Jazz, for example, is known for atypical chords, unusual chord progressions, and odd time signatures.
Can’t wait to hear this on vinyl
