Some dude is fixing the dollar bill insert on the popmachine, while his cell phone goes off. Then he is saying "i dont know" |

If it has an 808 and slap bass, it's music. |

imagine you create an mboard about music that people enjoy and 1 or 2 guys keep coming there and want only talk sperm. what would you do ? [nevermind what was the real reason why you created the mboard]. what would you do ? motor sounds + birds = awesome music. well, depending on the bpm of course. anyway, field recordings as sample source - RULE |

music is that which you believe to be music |
||||||||
|

Music is sounds which the artist intend to be called "music" |

we are the music makers and we we are the makers of hot, yummy love of yum tummy yums and that's the sweat spot salty thank you |

you can call music anything..as long as you don't have good taste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although its good on paper to describe the sounds of an environment as 'music', if you went ahead and recorded these sounds, then published them unaltered on a cd, i think youd find yourself calling it 'the sound of traffic' rather than 'the sound of music' |
||||||||

i don't think it it has boundries. for me if thinking about it in the broardest possible sense, it is simply the intentional exploration of sound and time. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
if it doesn't have boundaries how are you still able to tell what is music and what isn't? |

I asked my music teacher whether we could do noise music for GCSE as all you need to do is follow a set of guidelines for music. He didn't take me seriously. |

I don't like John Cage's music mostly - but this was his best track - 4 minutes and 33 seconds of live silence - where the room becomes the primary player in the sound of it all |

Maybe it is easier to think about if you make a distinction between between what is 'music' and what is a 'composition'. I think that natural sounds could be called music. A birds song has tone and harmony. The sound of waves hitting the shore and the or the running of the copy machine both have rhythm, tone and texture. In fact, I would venture to guess that whoever wrote the first "song" was probably emulating sounds they heard in their environment anyway. A composition would be some planned organization of elements into a finished piece of art. Anytime a person becomes involved in actively manipulating and organizing the layout of sound I believe it could be considered a musical composition, even if it just adjusting the frequencies of white noise or banging on a can. Some people think that if something doesn't follow the classical rules and principals of music theory it isn't really music. That just comes from a narrow and unprogressive view of what music really is. The objective, absolute rules are things like E, G, and B always make an E minor triplet or if you tap your toe and a certain rate it makes a certain number of beats per minute. Those things are fundamental and unchangable. Each style, genre, etc. has its own standards and boundries regarding how those rules and principals should be applied and how flexible they are. There is no concrete rules for this, only principals and it is subjective to the standards of the genre and the taste of each individual listener. So, if you record the sound of the waterfall and put that out completely unaltered can you call it a composition? People take photographs of scenery all the time and it is considered to be their intellectual property, so I don't see why the same principal wouldn't apply to audio art. |

It's the conscious choice to archive the moment as you see fit or however you can with what tools & skills you have. |

Music is an organization of sounds that someone enjoys. It has to be organized by someone in some sense, however, as art must require an artist. Thats not to say that an artist can't go record a waterfall and claim it's music. |

some say music must have melody, rythm and harmony. but this definition is outdated, it's all about appreciation. i agree with glasse. |

this question extends into all artforms. in visual arts its debated alot more and as a result we get pieces of poo in a can being sold at christies for crazy amounts of money etc.. although I may not enjoy or appreciate some sound art and such, if its made by someone who says that it is music, that it was his intention to make music then I guess it has to be right? That is if your are to say that music has no boundries. The idea of anything having boundries is not something I enjoy, so I subscribe to the idea that art is without bounds, and accept the results, both good and bad. |
