cheddatom Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1445271446' post='2890125'] I don't think the sound needs to be repeated to be musical: consider the sound made by a professional cellist playing a single note, compared to the sound of me trying to do the same. Of course there's repetition on a micro level, as the waveforms repeat (and vary). [/quote] One note droning on without any variation wouldn't be musical IMO, no matter how nice it sounds. Quote

CHW Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Not read whole thread but to me music is "Aural Art" therefore anything either delivered or perceived as a musical sound, is one. Quote

So music isn't created it's perceived. Doesn't matter what the creator intended, it's what the audience thinks that matters. Quote

ubit Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 A sound is musical if it didn't come out of Kanye Wests mouth! Quote
