I read the article "The Future of Music: Credo" by John Cage. He was basically talking about exploring sound as instrumentation. Now, noise is always around and may even be considered mildly annoying at times, but when you are actually listening to the sound it becomes interesting. So why not take these interesting sounds and use them as sort of new instruments.
Also, composers would be faced with incredibly larger fields of sound and time. Any dreamable rhythm could be written. Any sounds can be used in percussive music. Once tools are designed to do things such as amplifying small sounds are available, the experimentation there will be explored in the organizing of sounds.
