O.P. Wink  What is Music?
Well, I was doing minimilism in class the other day (GCSE Music), and a point was brought up by the teacher; What really is music? How can you define music, music comes in different shapes and styles, but all in all, isn't it really just sound?

We are currently doing a study, about the man who created it, and those others that progressed it further, such as the phasing aspect of it etc. The man who was the first to "compose" minimilism, was from the "hippy" era, and his first show brough thousands of people, all it was, was a piano, on a stage, with a bucket of hay next to it, the composition was something like this:

'Walk onto the stage,
bring the piano onto the stage,
bring a bucket of hay onto the stage
wait for the piano to eat the bucket of hay'

It's not really a composition, but is it? The silence of those expecting something to happen, brought more sound around them, the peoples breathing, the beating of hearts etc, so it was really natural music simply brought around by this strange act on stage.

So the question is, what is music? and what does it trully mean to you?

I have been meaning to post the question "what is music?" for around a week now, I quite simply forgot lmfao... too much on my mind, stupid exams.
