Concerning your taglines: I performed a quick search and wound up at Britannica: https://www.britannica.com/art/Futurism. I'm into language transitory developments, and the 'absconding' of the 2-syllables "future" by tacking on "-ism" seems sad. The manifesto mentioned in this Britannica article does show that it is now, as you mentioned, quite dead. As to AI and electronic music: I am working on some Tonality and Impact theory for my first podcast episode, to review factors in music production and repetition, especially of titles/lyrics after release. Great article!
Regarding the composer, I wonder how far the break can go. I tend to see more power in work that has some structure, as in The Bastard Noise's "Rogue Astronaut". Pure noise or harsh noise is more destructive but less powerful. Although that may be a prejudice and perhaps Cage means something else.
I do generally enjoy noise more when mixed other things, or as interludes between things, like MITB/Bastard Noise would do, but pure sound can be powerful in it's own right, just on a different level.
Cage's music is really structured, but something like Barstool Mountain is more chaotic, It's kinda like free jazz in that way. I'm sure there is some vague structure or idea that he's following but it's difficult to decipher and I kind of the like the mystery. For me it really is if it sounds cool it sounds cool.
I'm the same way, I basically just listen to things based on feeling. I don't know Cage that well but what you posted seems like a landscape, similar to cinematography and 'sculpting in time', a sort of meeting of music and natural sounds. Extreme noise to me seems more like energy, the underworld, or space. Would perhaps be interesting to compare the different styles more.
