But this too is really more noise-sculting than music. What about recordings 
of rain storms? Bird songs. Barking dogs. Or military sound affects? Ambient 
recordings in a train station. Babies crying. Narrations. Lectures on how to 
get rich in real estate or gain more self-confidence. Running water. Vacumms, 
drills, saws, and kitchen blenders. Actually I would buy a CD which took all 
of these elements and arranged them in Logic into some grand creative 
composition. But even then I don't think they are music - just interesting 
sounds. Are all sounds music?
