hypothetical sci fi story wherein modern society's music culture revolves entirely around complexity within tonality with no attention given to progression at all. essentially, people listen to a genre of music which is just like white noise, but very beautiful white noise, or maybe not beautiful at all. continuous, constant, unchanging sound. is this even possible? or do we need progression for music to evoke certain feelings? can those feelings be evoked in a different manner without progression?
you need to make patterns and break them. i am not sure if that answers your question
