What is Music? What is Art?

[lisztisforkids]

Is is merely something we find pleasurable to hear or see? Or is something much more deeper in that?

[Tash]

depends on who you are and what you see it's purpose to be. i personally think that contemporary art is bullshit, hence it's not pleasureable, but to someone else it very well may be...

deeper.  it all starts with your mother's heartbeat.  believe it or not, my daughter remembers some other sounds (bubbles). 

i think art is human expression - in whatever form.  i think the arts are equivalent to the idea of the  muses.  i don't particularly believe in greek mythology - but the muses exemplify to me the idea of the arts working together.  meditation/memory/song.

to me, hearing music while in a garden (or other beautiful setting) is much more of an experience than you get in a practice room.  that is why i wish they would allow muralists around the music buildings. 

also, the sound of water is very appealing to me.  i like hearing it simultaneously with m usic.  it would be nice to have recitals in museums, as well - and some do have them there.  to see art/music together.
