At what point does sound experimentation stop becoming music? It's composed, it has rhythm, it has melody, it even uses conventional instruments to a smaller degree. I see Water Walk as a more explicit portrayal of sounds that we wouldn't normally consider music than 4'33. If those sounds were incorporated into a musique concrete piece, would you then consider it music? Or if you heard it without watching it?
I don't know if I've seen you answer the OP, what's your general take?
