I <3 Rothko. I don't think sounds needs to be intended or perceived for it to be "music". "Music" is just a social information category based on a set of historical associations with certain human behaviors. Because you can perceive the sound of the wind in the trees as "music", it is; it doesn't matter if you ever do perceive it, or if somebody caused the wind by manipulating the weather with a high-tech future technology we can only dream about, and quiver as the thought enters our feeble minds, clearing the red to create a path which fades forever into a distant and extremely beautiful future. Every sound (or physical event, for that matter) has a certain "structure" and "form" which could pretty easily be legitimated by a "logical" argument, and certainly appreciated "aesthetically", if came down to that. Any context could be perceived as defining.

Was John Cage wrong? Is it possible that you don't have a universal definition of "music"?? Please don't try and force your own perspective on everyone else... we're perfectly entitled to our own opinions. Also...you've never seen a pink sky? WTF IS THIS?!! Holy cow...you mean.... a blue sky could sometimes also be pink!!?? The mind boggles.

I <3 U @keys&guitar I guess this isn't art either, huh?

Hello Isaias, Thank you for posting your work here. I cannot speak for the others but this is music very much too my taste. Perhaps others may find it "corny", for me it is music as I very much would like my music to be. Never heaerd of Raul di Blasio, but then that is my error. Pitty that you have not posted a score, would have loved to see the score, perhaps even play it for myself. In short: congratulations. Wolfgang Sachs.

Hey, glad to see you're still writing, I thought you had left for a while! Anyways, there are some great moments in this song, I especially loved the fast woodwind parts, and the intense ostinatos you created. The one main concern I have with this is your slim orchestration. You won't get the proper build-up you're looking for at places like 60 with just clarinets and horns (and some alto). And with that slim orchestration came the bad use of some of the band. I feel you used way too much horn, alto and clarinet, and left out instruments such as tuba, tenor sax, oboe - even trumpet except in tutti sections. So if you go through and add some more doubles and harmonies like you did so well at the beginning of the piece, I think this would turn out great. Nice work - 9/10.

Says logic. If I say the sky is pink, does that make it pink? Pink by my deffinition maybe, which may be analogus to your deffintion of blue, but either way, we are talking about the same thing, just with diffrent deffinitions. The sky is blue, (by common deffintion) that is fact, and the sky is not pink. The issue is simply in our deffintion of music, does ambient noise count as music? I certianly don't think so, but John Cage did... Is a blank canvas art, what about a blank notebook, is this literature? Now, just for the record, I do think that most of John Cage's works are music, a lot it of it may be stretching the deffinition, but it is music never the less, 4'33 however, in my opinion, isn't music.
