at what point does sound become music?
El Opium:
When it comes to defineing whats music and what isn't I haven't a clue. Its down to personal choice. An old housemate accused me of hating music because of some of the stuff I liked listening to. One way I look at things though is if the recording is on vinyl and I can play it at the wrong speed without immedietly noticing, then it's leaning toward noise.
sp2:
The dfference between noise and music is that noise lacks composition and intent. It has to be purposeful, and it has to all fit together to create a greater whole. You can have several minutes of tape hiss and have it be music if that adds to the complete composition of the piece.
Keith Decent:
this is the same question as 'When does an object become art?'
and the answer is:
Whenever someone points at it and says 'OMG art!' or in this case, 'Look, this is music.'
To put it logically. Art and music are human creations. Without the definiton we created for them, they would just be 'stuff' and 'sounds.' And, since one person's idea of what fits into one of these categories is no more or less important than any other person's. Then the above statements are true.
Long story short, art and music are opinions, and you can't argue an opinion and expect to come out with a fact.

That is when music becomes noise. There is no pattern in the music, there is nothing. Just random whistles and a guy screaming.

Someone mentioned the Disintergration Loops. This makes them a winner, because William Basinski is seriously kickass.
And the answer to your question is somewhere around here: http://www.alien8recordings.com/MP3/frequency13.mp3
