what is the difference between a "potential" musical instrument that would stop it from being able to create music not unlike an "actual" musical instrument? design or intent aside, it's being used musically. it's an INSTRUMENT used to create music. music is predicated by the sound of the instrument once used - there actually is no difference of input or output between a "potential" and an "actual" musical instrument - they both create sound when utilized, to serve the musician's purpose. your point is inconsequential. you are arguing about the intention of the tool upon its inception, not the validity of the tool itself. since every body seems to be asking hypothetical questions; what if a computer was created solely for the purpose of producing sound? what would make it more or less valid as a musical instrument - its intent, or use?
