I have yet to hear a successful musician that made an entire song with a single note. Even three chords can be used to convey something. One note cannot in my opinion unless your point is "le vide"  .I know you were using it as an example, but I don't think most 5 year olds could play a three chord song in correct time, but any child with hands can take electric blue and cover a canvas with it. Any child under supervision could set a canvas on fire. I guess I just expect more from visual art than gimmicks. Is that elitist? Maybe so, but it's my belief on this subject.
Gotta go now. I'm a little broke this week and I'm gonna piss in a jar and stick a crucifix in it to make some cash. Gotta practice my pretentiousness to appear genuine tho.
