whats the difference between artist and musician

says on wikipedia a musician is anyone who performs,
composes or conducts music, so technically anyone can be a
musician that makes sounds?

but lately(well reasonably) people have coined the termed
'artist' for people who don't quite cut it as musicians.
it seems musician is used for people who are perceived as
very creative and whose output is generally and consistently
of very high quality, but whos to judge whats good or not?

many people who are not classically trained in music can
still create complex and musically coherent pieces, and they
can be called musicians for their music, not because of
their actual education in music theory, likewise someone who
IS classically trained can still make shitty music, but i
guess he's a "real musician?" (albeit uncreative one)

if anyone can clear this up id appreciate it.

artist: multiple mediums
musician: single medium of sound

That's solved, do you have anymore stupid questions?

Books (or sites!) of words are only useful for concrete
things. Abstractions can only be made by experience. The
words "artist" or "musician" are pointless as a
differentiation between people: we are all artists and
musicians.

I think if you have to ask then it's safe to say you're not
one.

"says on wikipedia"

The best part about wikipedia isn't the articles, but the
"talk/discussion" pages behind the scenes. Check this nifty
bit of CTRL-C-V:

"I'm not saying I know any more than any others on the
truth of this Vril Society. However, it is *obvious* from
any source that this is a so-called "secret society." Now,
what is the nature of a "secret society?" It's secret!
"


"I've said it above, but it can't be said often enough.
If there is a small minority which held that Stargate is not
a mere work of fiction, but should be takes as historic
account, would we be obliged to rewrrite the Old Egypt pages
of the Wikipedia? "

Musician: plays music. doesnt really do anything else. makes
music in one or two generas blends them to make it seem
Fresh. Doesnt really do anything new.

Artist/ Producer: innovativ multi genera person.
