response to lisa's "Bell & Music."

Music... harmonic sounds. It says nowhere, they have to be made from instruments. Instruments specialize in creating sounds, which generally can be formed into groups, tones, etc.
Singing creates notes, that can also be generalized and formed into categories.
I think if an artists takes a mush of 7-8 instruments(counting vocals, back up vocals etc) or what ever the number and he calls it music, it is music. May be good or not so good... as we all know, we all have those "creative" friends that make unearthly sounds...
anyhow the mush of the sounds is an art.

I think a better question to ask is when singing turns into prose, or talking?

No black lines can be drawn, but it makes me wonder; are sounds ever not musical?
