@JacobMorrisNinetyTwo Music is entirely conceptual, there are no boundaries beyond sound. The rest is perception, aural training and understanding.

it's acoustic dubstep

this intrument, i think its for the soundtrack of the movies or idk XD

@jakethegimp2 They don't technically come under the same umbrella. They're still both art insofar as they're both expressions of people's creativity (arguably), but specifically they're still completely different forms of art.

[JacobMorrisNinetyTwo]

@jakethegimp2 That's one of the interesting things about art, it doesn't really have a meaning at all - and a lot of 20th century modernism and avant garde artistic movements were intentionally puzzling and challenged audiences to test those boundaries of what defines art. I do appreciate the things you're saying about Mark Patton and the intonarumori, but they're reasons why this isn't art to your perception. Perfectly valid viewpoint, but not the only viewpoint available :P

[JacobMorrisNinetyTwo]

@jakethegimp2 The answer to all those questions, depending on who you're asking, could actually be yes. It may not be your interpretation of art, but if somebody out there, regardless of how insignificant they are, considers any of your examples art, then it's art but only to that person (or whoever shares that perspective). Art is a wholly abstract idea specific to human interpretation, it is not a logical systemised concept. There is no way to clearly define it universally.

[ImaginaryMinstrels]

@jakethegimp2 This is presuming that the only talent you can have is technical ability, which simply isn't the case - art can be considered art for the message it communicates or the mood it purveys, or the connection it creates with the artist, etc etc. This is why art cannot possibly be objective, if we decided that only one kind of art mattered in the world we're essentially casting out entire artistic movements and differing opinions of billions of people completely redundant.

@jakethegimp2 Would you define photography as just someone pointing and clicking a box?
