[Mechanthrope]

Music can have no melody, or no harmony or rhythm. Music is culturally defined. What makes Bach more musical than a river? Society's definition. So really, music is any sound. Everything vibrates and creates sound, so everything is music.

[mobilesuitrxle]

I think he can take out most hip-hop djs.

Life death and the removal of 16 years of recovery, perfect life hard work talent and other was involved and mean the erasing of 35 years of extrodinary survial work to out with them all nd rise up to a class of my own talent rising. when u lose your soul in the game , to gain success its not real any way. you have to sit back and consider what u paid to get there. there is always a price... unless u do it rigth... like the music. i never did follow to tight and was nto influenced by others

with one interview or a radical stand against some dirty games aind medical failures that were deep threat to leave me wtih stroke and to lose my miracle and brilliant versatile original god inspired music adn art talent, i begged someone who was close to my sitaution at one time and knew my sick family and that i was connected to my sick famous brother in law he did not like at time either, and asked for radical willed small motion to save life. he did not care to even respond despite that

[weseethroughu]

i went to school and lived with Christian Marclay. He almost put me under wing but i was not a underwing person. i was put through a crisis with my sick family. my friends then abandoned me. i managed to survive and rise up to my own place back in art world survivng medical abuse and witchcraft and other at hands of sick story, and people who would kill for what they wanted. When my miracle of life was challenged and in threat again by same medical failure , i wrote Xristian to ask for help

[ollicup21]

agreed! i just wish i could play river sounds for my music theory teachers.

[Euroflounder]

Gregorian chants have no harmony, a good interpretation of a romantic piece has no concrete rhythm as the performer speeds up and slows down for emphasis, drone music has no melody. Most people would call all of these things music; just because this has none of them, it doesn't mean it is not music (besides, one could argue that it has all three).

[chiliberto]

Ooooh. Maybe someday I'll get an introduction like that....

[boogster123321]

where do you get records that have some of that stuff as music on it?

[gurra9]

If that's your definition of "music" then sure. In my opinion, music is just sound (or lack of sound like 4'33 by John Cage) created for the purpose of being music
