Have you ever experienced that an atonal composer talked very incoherently and incomprehensibly
Whenever I try to listen to atonal music, it sound for me like a random cluster of notes. So I cannot understand why composers compose this way. Have you ever experienced that such persons talked very incoherently and incomprehensibly? I do not want to belittle those composers, but perhaps it is a proof how baneful atonal music is.

The one I knew best was very articulate. After all he had years of practice trying to explain ;)
Lots of people are able to appreciate and understand atonal music just fine. Just because you don't happen to doesn't make it baneful.
And yes, I think I usually speak pretty coherently, so do the dozens of other composers of atonal music I know.
I would argue that ANY music that is composed with definite pitches--in other words, not for unpitched percussion ensemble--is "tonal." But it appears that the OP, while coherent and comprehensible, is bordering rather closely on baiting and hate-speech.

Don't forget that "un-pitched percussion" indeed has pitch.

Thank you, I had seen it from times to times, but never wondered what it meant.
