Why would music ever not be art? Isn't music under the
category 'art'? How about when does sound become music?
After it's recorded? But then a tape of discussion isn't
music. When there is a repetetition of recorded sound?

music is humanly-organised sound. a tape of a discussion is
music.

humanly-organised sound that is intended as music, I would
say.

i don't know..who can judge what qualifies as art and what
can't? when entertainment stops and art begins?

i think that it so. because i don't believe that art must
inherently posess a "high standard of quality". the idea of
art is independent of the measure of quality of art.

so to me, linkin park is art, but it's bad art. very bad
art.

seeing as there can be no singular answer, you should be
able to come up with an answer of your own, though.

the question of whether all music is art is more formidable
than defining those terms. i'm not totally sure right now.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say that as a rule, all
music is art. but there exceptions to every rule.
including that one.

now i hope to hear insightful arguments against. ihope.

Linkin Park is art if that's really the music they want to
make, and not some thing made purely to please the masses.
Which would be sad.

The only solution is to eradicate the masses. I don't really
see any downside to this method.

The word "art" is ambiguous because something can be art to
me and not to someone else. The word shouldn't even be in
practice anymore.

hi - i didn't use the follow-up hoping that you wouldn't
think that i was talking to you. i got carried away with
being impatient for responses and posted that last message
just in general and it had nothing to do with your posts,
which i found to be quite amusing as always. sorry for the
confusion.

yes, that sounds like it, that surely is the difference
between commercial and non commercial music..but there are a
lot of awful bands out there who also do their own thing and
they please the masses but the music is dreadful!!

i conclude there's no way something can be decided to be art
and something else can't..it's really up to every
individual..but what's odd about it a bit, is that out
governament is supporting music artists, and i'd really love
to know what criteria do they look for..

that's an interesting question, and if they're anything like

I believe, you'll be stupified by the silly arguments they
use.

well, i don't know your governament, but im sure our isn't
any better, more likely it's much worse.. i know of some
artists that are supported and they don't seem like doing
art to me, i don't know the whole thing about it
though..i'll see if i can find something about that..im
surious about this one :)

My answer is that anything that is created with the
intention of conveying emotion and meaning through
expression of sound and/or visuals is a form of art. This
rules out anything that is created with the primary
intention of maximising sales which sadly applies to a lot
of available 'commerical' works.

yes, i agree on that, and that means that all music is art.

now that we all agree with dariusgriffin, i would like to
also throw this in: what's the difference between art and
entertainment?

i think the answer is usually fairly obvious when you just
take a look at something... the difference between a
reality game show and an abstract painting are like night
and day. entertainment is like the equivalent of shutting
your mind off and art is generally something that provokes
reaction.

clearly, they overlap because art is often entertaining.
yet, by and large we can divide up the music world into the
categories of "what is done implicitly as entertainment" and
"what is done implicitly as art". in this case, the
motivation behind the work dictates its' subsequent
categorization. and i think that holds true as
dariusgriffin suggests.

i've been playing devil's advocate a bit in this thread.
now that i have made this additional amendment, i go back to
what i had thought all along, which is that some music is
art and some music is not art at all.

I feel that sound is considered music when it is
generated/arranged for human listening (not counting more
technical aspects of listening such as the noise emitted
when a truck backs up, or a car horn is being honked). Music
is art when it is crafted well, creatively, or originally. A
combination of all three is perfect.

"the difference between a reality game show and an abstract
painting are like night and day."

yes, the extremes are easy to see i suppose, but then
there's again music that it isn't that obvious..
that criteria thing taxidermist mentions sounds good..

this is just another one of those non answerable
questions...
