There is a place for all, Thanks for sharing. Trout, sublime. Some yet to listen to.
Some think their their tastes are for all; I do not subscribe to that school. I share.

Messiaen, not hard going for me at all. And some think Zappa invented atonal music.

Messiaen, not hard going for me at all. And some think Zappa invented atonal music. Rephrase that: Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time) A most beautiful piece, from the depths of horror. I was born in the post war years, a time of hope, of a new world. It died soon after (David Lynch), the horror remained. From one war to another. The atomic tests, who has the bigger bomb? Ten years old and asking why? So I went and hugged trees. I hope that tree still stands. It did when I last walked to it, but that was long ago.It lives in my mind, and that is all I need. Give me some money for that.

Messiaen, not hard going for me at all. And some think Zappa invented atonal music. Messiaen most definitely was not atonal. You need to look to Schoenberg, Berg or Webern for that. Messiaen used unconventional scales, scales influenced by bird song and Indian music (think Turangalîla - not only a character in Futurama), but there was always a tonality to his music. (Tonality here meaning having a tonal centre - something abrogated by the serialists.) And do people really think Zappa invented atonal music? I just wonder whether the serialists really expected their music to have widespread acceptance, and for it to be a source of pleasure, when they wrote it. For me, only a few of their works come close to greatness. For me, perhaps the greatest is Berg's Violin Concerto:

I used the term atonal, loosely, unconventional, not using standard notation; I am not a musician.I did check atonal, and for my purposes that is acceptable. The Zappa bit was a jest Birdsong later,colour always .Hate definitions anyway.Original,true to self,seeking a means to reach the essence,to communicate beyond the facile. Or is that me? If it connects, then it has achieved the magic of art.
But there is always motorhead, if you like.
Of bird song, I am quite a minor expert.
There is a caged bird I talk to every day; no not mine, I am with Blake :
How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child, when fears annoy,
But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring?”
And said bird loves to connect with me.
They, (owners, can you own a life?)try to teach it to speak. I say a few words and it repeats them.
Wandering into realms of fantasy and reality.
