Noise is all of them mixed together.....

I believe you are thinking of synthesis' definition of noise.

You've got it all wrong, Tom Silverman knows the score. The difference between "music" and "noise" is 100 record sales:

the difference between an event you call 'music' or 'art' or something and it not being that, is that you put a frame around the former.

So what do you call a frameless poster of a famous piece of 'art'?

Not quite sure why we need all these definitive statements.

An alternative approach might be that it's music or art if it doesn't piss you off.

perceiving neither black nor white but shades of grey

Ah, I see, so the first 2 times Dylan played Newport it was music/art, but the third time it wasn't. :)

Take things literal much? :lol:

It's intent or not intent, that is the question;, you say 'this is art' and call it a day.

CF: Zappa - "the most important part of a composition is the frame".

anything's art, if someone wants it to be... what the fvck do I care. That doesn't mean some of it isn't lacking in competence on a craft level according to my frame of criticism.

It's a philosophical statement in a thread which is that by definition, and not intended for literalists.
That's me, "framing" the discussion. :shrug:
