Neither of the works uses a pure tone as they both blend the fundamental tone with the overtones to create a particular sound. “Where the Good Times Are” combines fundamental tone and harmonics resulting in clear intonation and a pleasant timbre. In contrast, "Live 1988" uses electronic tone alteration using sound effects such as car sounds and breaking glass. The tonal combination in “Live 1988” produces a sound with unpleasant and indistinct highs. This makes “Where the Good Times Are” sound sweet and “Live 1988” sound harsh. My first reaction to “Where the Good Times Are” was a sad and depressing feeling. However, the visual and audio aspects later in the show were calming and entertaining. The artist appeared calm and her movements on stage were in rhythm with the music. “Live 1988” was the most intriguing performance of noise music I have ever seen. Initially, I thought the performance was a clip of a violent movie scene, but the coherence of the performance made me realize that it was actually a performance to illustrate this exact music.
