Discussion:
Part of this week’s discussion was about if all sounds can be music and where is the line that draws the difference between the two. I believed, along with the rest of my group, that any sound can become music, it just needs to follow some direction. Banging your hand on a desk isn't music but once you add a rhythm to it, it becomes a beat that can be used for music. You can add in pitches by using different objects and having those follow a different beat to make a song. The difference between a sound and actual music is that a sound is just something you hear with no rhythm or intention to it, while music is the opposite. Back in the Baroque era, musicians had to use the sounds around them in order to create music as they didn’t have the technology we do today. They used nature, household objects, and their voices in order to create early songs. These artists set the foundation for what would become the music we look up on Spotify and Apple Music today as without them, we would have silence.
