I found this entertaining, like all her videos:

Part 6: You cannot hear radio
waves.https://youtu.be/0j4_-7rwWjE?si=9XKhErO03LQLPgvp&t=3910

I like the genre "noise". But some of my friends who are true fans
have some perverse tastes in music. E.g. a couple of them *hate* what
they call "noodling" ... like Joe Satriani or Yngwie Malmsteen ...
mostly sounds like they're playing scales. They argue that chords and
rhythm guitar, as well as drums, are way more interesting/entertaining
to them. I find that somewhat contradictory. It just seems like you
can't really be a fan of noise without liking noodling, at least when
it's appropriate ... not gratuitous. But apophenia's a thing. So maybe
noise is an ultimate art form, where the artist can intend anything
she wants without constraining the audience in their imputation?

Composers *think* they're generating these things. But most
mathematicians are Platonic. Maybe the composers are actually
*discovering* music as opposed to generating it?

Noise is so wonderful. The only genre.
Honestly the album I have listened to the most over the last 5 years:

Lately, two other favorites:

The last one I learned about from Bill Lawvere when he and I had dinner in
Toronto a decade or so ago. He was telling me that when he was a kid, he
would go out into the woods with a military radio and listen to the
whistler effect. He went on to make an analogy to Rota's generalization of
mobius inversion. I thought it was really cool and so he sent me a copy of
a lecture on it that he gave the day I was born.
