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



:)
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:
I was being silly. There's a lot of music not in the western tradition that might be considered noise to ears unused to it. I have a take it or leave it attitude -- turn it off if you don't like it, turn it up if you do. Or something like that.

Cheers.

I knew you were Ed [can I call you Eddie? ;)], that's meant for the 'what about a picture with no literal frame' response, which seems to be reading a different thread than I saw over all these pages.



If Rolling Stone journalists can be music critics with a basis only in journalism, I'm not that likely to keep my mouth shut forever about what in my frame is *some crap*. It can be somebody's most precious artifact in their life and I'll do it. Doesn't mean much either way to the universe.

Pretty true for much of what gets people's knickers in knots around here. :)

Not quite sure why we need all these definitive statements.
Take things literal much? :lol:
Not as much as you I guess when you don't see an extension to the analogy to show it has flaws. :shrug:

A previous thread failed to define "harmony." So maybe that's not the best path to pursue...How about "music is what you SAY it is...like truth."

Noise is when i follow through.

harmony already has a definition, i dont need a threads failure or success for me to know what it is.

Careful what you say around skunks. By one way of looking at things, the commonality between "music" and "noise" is "i". The difference between "music" and "noise" is therefore "musc" and "nose".

Not that I would ever, of course, except in self-defense.
