Music: What is it really? More importantly: What is it to you?
“National Steel” by Colin James (1997)
I think it is very difficult to define what music is. I am going to get a bit heavy in this blog but bear with me as I give you some thoughts and ideas so you can frame your own ideas – or conversely tell me I am full of crap. I was at this multimedia presentation the other day and the question was asked: What is music? (Thanks James!)
It seems pretty self-explanatory on the surface but the more I thought about it the deeper it got...
It is not a universal word to all cultures so let’s just stick with the English word for the time being. Let’s also make the assumption that music is unique to humans and like a tree in the forest to exist it has to be played out loud.
