I don’t think this is music. I’m sorry, I believe it is a work of art because art is totally subjective, but music should be distinguished from art. Western Music began with monks who created music to get closer to god. After a vow of silence, after observing the sounds of nature and mankind and all things on this earth they expressed musicality by chanting. By imitating and reflecting on what god created they birthed music. 4’33” is just a presentation of natural occurrence with absolutely no organization of the sounds it creates. It is the sound of nature, nature that inspires music, but is not music itself.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go smell my own farts.
