A coworker yesterday adamantly declared that all music has a key and a tonal center. Following his declaration he refused to hear any argument of the alternative, and just repeated his statement. This morning I got to thinking about it and set down and composed a brief refutation with an array of links to media content that challenge his position.
I described serialism, bitonal and polytonalism, microtonal and non-Western musics, selections of free jazz and process music outside a tonal scale, key works of Musique concrète, and closed with a composition by an electrical engineer at M.I.T. written using a Costas sonar array before sending it off to his email.
I feel better now.
