As I'm doing my midterm essays I was looking into what gracyk thought about bird song and how he thought it was musical but how he didn't think that meant it was music at all. As I was pondering this I thought back to how my john cage inspired piece sounded a lot like bird song and thought that maybe my piece too might of only of been musical and not music. Surely my piece was intended for aesthetic enjoyment and not to attract a mate but surely the lack of rhythm and musical experience must have some affect on what people think of my work. Gracyk states that for something to be art it must reflect culture, natural outpourings of unchecked emotion are not art lol. So I wanted to see what everyone else thought about this. Below I'm going to include a link to some bird songs and I want to know if you find them to be musical or if they're able to be considered music.
