The music is the one that says "saw-square-sine" or something along those lines under it. The noise is the one that says like "white-brown-pink".

This might have merit, actually.
We escape the trap of our own subjectivity by
perceiving neither black nor white but shades of grey

these are the wave choices on a synthesiser?
is a synthesiser a musical instrument?
why does a musical instrument have "noise wave" choices?

Leaving aside the fact that there is in-between... Wooha, hold your horses! The moment when white, brown, pink and so on noise will be called music is yet to come.

It's even economically useful, especially considering the current crisis. If you or your family have a drilling machine and/or an air compressor, you don't need to pay for synths, effects, etc. - you can use them instead, together with the lotus position.

Noise is what all the stupid electrical devices make (like my fraking computer computer(s):x ) and music (whether you like it or not) is what I try to make ON that noisy computer. :wink:

Okay, maybe music COMES from noise.

But not the other way around. :!: :?:

one could even say "music needs noise".
and as you point out the reverse isnt true.

so noise can indeed be music, but music cant be noise.
or something.

they should reintroduce music to the olympics,
i might watch some of it then.

my own definition:
Music is sound, organized in time. Anything else you hear is noise. It might be pleasant, it may have some of the features of music (melody, harmony, rhythm), but without something to organize it in time (and I'm thinking as broadly as deciding when to turn it OFF qualifies), then it is noise.

music is planned structured noise. Noise is Rap Music - Rap NOISE isn't music. Sorry kids but I ain't buyin' it. Maybe cause I'm old. Same as my parents when I played Jimi Hendrix records all day & night... they couldn't buy it either. It's a cycle.

Music is the selection in a bag of Revels
Noise is the coffee creme.
