it is a serious question. you want to know what it has to do with music, think it out.
i dont see there is a coherent distinction. you record noise, you make it repeatable, which means you can either deduce or impose structure to it---there is no difference.
as for the twisting of audio technology into a weapon, well that seems like a beautiful example of how american capitalism operates.....

I don't make the distinction either, it is like saying what is art? You just posted a link and a quick byte about "don't you love america?" and the next post about but this system is supposed to transmit a normal speaking voice over a range of at least 4 blocks at a volume and with such directedness that the sound-image woudl resolve as if it was occurring within your head. that is not something americans can tune out. and this says nothing about the crowd control function." Which is why I asked, how YOU see it relates to music because what I see it doesn't.
The direction I see the discussion is more into the morals of sonically targeting advertisments, as far as the link itself discussing it's use for crowd control could easilly turn into a political discussion. I asked you for clarification because you were the thread starter and you have you own thoughts of how it fit. Had I not bothered to post, I would have just moved it to Politics or General discussion. As you can see other people mentioned the ability to speak as Allah into someone's head, thus had I crossed that path I would be inclined to move it to Philosophy.
Me thinking it out can come up with a VASTLY different place than were you would.
