Music is organised sound. Thats it, its a very un-romantic, aloof definition. But thats what it is. It has nothing to do with emotions or "feeling".

i know of a lot of music that doesnt sound too organized..what about Jamming..thats not organized.

It dosent have to be compromised to be organised, even in improv the musicians have complete control of the sounds that are being produced. If someone has control over the sounds being produced, it is music.

If I were to do the melody of Blister in the Sun with my right arm pit, then yes, it is still music.

I think all music has feelings and emotions. Thats how its created.

boo boo 06-20-2007 09:03 PM

Not at all really.

I can write a guitar part with no emotion attached to it, its still a melody, so its still music.

Thing is, an emotional reaction is like a fingerprint, they're different with everybody. Anybody can be moved by just about any kind of music.

I was just saying that with no meaning on the end of the person who writes it or anyone who hears it then it's just meaningless noise.

Music is noise. And its only purpose is to please the ears, other than that there is no meaning, everyones ears are different.

There is no right or wrong kind of music, one persons trash may be another persons treasure.

Only partially true. I can honestly say not all jazz fans are friendly people nor can I say all metalheads slay dragons. On the other hand all U2 fans are pretentious twats.

.

What about machines? like, industrial sounds. are they controlled? the "music" they make is a bi-product of the machines actual purpose.
not picking sides, just a question.
