in Music, a melody is typically a succession of single pitches of equal or varying durations. a Noise Melody is a fragmented audible stream that can contain musical tones, but it is better defined as a succession of Audible Moments of all kinds, one after another after another. In a Noise Melody my preference is to string together Audibles of mild to extreme contrast in order to excite the mind to use memory as a tool for understanding and discerning the differences between them. media artist Barron Sherer applies this technique effectively to a sequence of photographic stills collected from diverse archival sources and displays them one, two, three frames in duration at the time. in sound i find that the duration of each Audible is established by the Audible itself, which is arrived at essentially by ear. although it sounds like a departure from music, i still deem this process a typical compositional activity
