David Bailey:
Tension in the listener? That's not important, huh? Release of that tension? That's not important either?
Of course they are. But there are numerous, powerful ways to create and release musical tension without reference to harmony, and highly dissonated music tends to rely on precisely such means for its effect.
Very interesting that composers (some, not all, thank goodness) decided that how their music affected their audiences no longer mattered.
This is a straw man: There never was any such composer.
