Review of 'Dissonance is the New Harmony'

Very interesting piece. The topic of this story is something I've never heard of. For the typical music lover, this genre of music is not necessarily mainstream but it certainly a interesting new type of music to become popular in recent years. The producers of this piece made something pretty popular (pop music) and took on a whole new different point of view. Though I can't imagine myself wanting to listen to 'noise' on a regular basis. It is pretty interesting to explore the non-main stream types of music that are being produced today.
The piece was very informative and explained a lot about something that many of us probably don't know about.
I liked how the piece used examples of pop music lyrics to illustrate their point. The interview track is also very good. The music creators explain their product in an interesting way. This piece makes someone who may not necessarily want to listen to noise -- curious enough to search for it on YouTube.
