Never Fight Over, "What is Music"?

"Never Fight Over, "What is Music"? I'm not sure if this is some kind of generally recognized rule, but it should be. It's like, "Don't talk about politics with clients" or " Bring up conspiracy theories at family gatherings". It will always be a fail. To be candid, I think never fighting over music is probably the most important. To say, "This music or that music sucks" does not in any way insult the music, it only insults the listener. Which is retarded, because most likely he or she had nothing to do with it. They simply like the sounds.
To say some tune sucks or worse, that it is not music, is non-constructive. Music is sounds, it could even be just one sound repeated over and over again and as long as one person likes it, it is music. It really doesn't matter if all the rest of the world agrees that it is not pleasant, that one person liking it makes it music.
Forgive me for being crude, but when I release a loud baritone of a fart, I like it. It has a musical quality to it. Most of the time I enjoy the smell and I know that a lot of others do too. Of their own, of course. In fact, if others are around and they aren't all up tight, it can be rather humorous. Simplistic, I'll grant you, but loosen up.
It's the same argument as, what is art? There is no definition. Art to be art, must remain in this transformational state in order to progress and to add complexity and strangely, simplicity. It must remain in a constant flux as if alive to create new works.
Music is simply sound, a collection of sound arranged in the simplest of forms to the most bizarre almost inaudible bombasity of clash symphonics ever created. To deny any sound, any beat or any voice from the spectrum of music is like removing a brush from a painter, a spice from a chef. He might not use it correctly a hundred times, but by chance or skill, it could make a magnificent difference.
Here is an interesting couple of choons I'd like to share, because they demonstrate unusual sounds and beats coming together. You may not want them as your musical entertainment, but I'm sure you will hear potentials. Open your ears and let your mind fall silent.
Put this to Dub Step and see what happens!
Do you think Frank Zappa and Nicolas Slonimsky would have created their music if anyone defined it?
The Indian singing voice has never been something I enjoyed, but this choon gots me lovin' it. Lots of different elements here that mixed quite well. The message works well with the blog.
