What noise can be called music?

When music becomes a noise?

These are two questions a musician and a "noise" creator must know.

I think I know what music is.

I also think that I know what noise is.

But I don't know how to transform noise into music and vise versa!

I guess every member here knows what noise is?

We often hear people saying, "Don't make noise," but do we know what noise is.

In the signal theoretical approach, 'noise; is also a signal, and may contain significant information in hidden form -- It is very much true!

For example, a sharp image represents only a particular scene, object, or scene comprising more than one object. An academician can deterministically specify the information content of a sharp image.

Let's see a beautiful image of nature captured with a camera sensor.

The above picture shows a sharply focused white pigeon and many dark-colored regions. The background of the image is blurred.

=========================

A blurred image contains more information than a sharp one

Have you noticed that the blurred background in the image in the last section? The common viewers may identify the background blurred portion as 'noise.'

But, as per information theory, there is a high probability of having huge information in this blurred background portion of the image

If the sensor camera lens had a considerable depth of focus, i.e., focusing objects from far and near, one could have got many more things, such as other regions, birds, trees in the background.

Due to the limited depth of focus of the camera lens, the background portion of the scene could not be deterministically captured. The foreground wired mesh is focused but the background human is defocused.

=========================

Don't get bogged down by the background noise

Do you often get bogged down by the disturbances in your life? It is pretty natural for all of us. Everybody wants more joy and less bitterness in life.

If you are accustomed to camera and photography, you are aware that no photographer can avoid the effect of defocusing in photography. The same is true for our life. We can't avoid bitterness and adversaries of life. Joys and woes are integral to living.

We must realize that 'noise' can't be completely avoided in our life

On the contrary, life is a mixture of happiness, sorrows, difficulties, success, failures, etc., contrasting features.

Why don't we try to enjoy everything that comes in life?

Take the focused portion first. Consider looking into the blurred parts of life more positively. Think about the silver lines inside a pool of darkness.

=========================

We can view light only in darkness

If you want to see the effects of light, you must have some places of darkness.

Can you see the light of a candle in broad daylight?

Do we like to have a candlelight lunch under the Sun?

But, we always cherish having a candlelight dinner after the Syn sets un the west.

Life requires the inherent ability to augment the correct signal besides noise

How far can you get rid of the noises of life and receive the correct signal?

I wish you to spread the spirit of joy, happiness, and peace.

Also, some musicians may think that they are making pleasant music not knowing that they are making noise. I love the image of the birds. It’s so beautiful. You also have a beautiful write up Keep it up

Oh yes. More people are creating and supporting noise as music. Energy, power, and decibels are boosting their self-ego. The poor ears are suffering due to egoistic audio-visual enjoyment. Music is also now more video than audio! Thanks for your valuable time. Let's follow and support our blogs.
