WHAT IS MUSIC



Music exists because people create it, perform it and listen to it. People are living organisms, and biology is the study of living organisms. If you succeeded in developing a complete theory of music, you would be able to use that theory to compose strong original music,
An information processing system has four basic components: input, output, calculation and storage. Applying this framework to the analysis of music, music appears to represent the input. What kind of information is the output, and what does it mean? How is it calculated?

Musicality is a perceived attribute of speech, which tells the listener important information about the speaker and the speech. Music is a super-stimulus for this perceived musicality, i.e. music is "speech" that has been contrived to have an unnaturally high level of musicality.
