Lemme see

I haven't posted here in a while, and I guess it's sort of a weird thing, because I always get caught up in something, but when I never post, I'm like, damn I'm missing out.

(I read up to page 7 and gave up, for the record)

Anyway, what's music? I still don't know. I might not ever. I can call something music, but can someone not, and we're both correct? Can I record myself walking through New York City and call it music? What's ambient noise, then? Is there such a thing as noise? Is it just what sound isn't intentionally presented? Do I, then, make music by intentionally presenting it? Is creativity necessary in music? Or can I say nothing is music except what I call it? Same thing for art, I guess. Take a picture of a blank wall, and it can be called art... someone sees a blank wall though, and they walk right past it. Is art universal? Is art all around us, omnipresent, and only dormant, and only needs attention, intentional representation, to spring to life? Then, is everything presented automatically art? Does the creator's intention matter, and if so, will people change their minds when the creator changes his?

So many questions. Mmm.
