I'm sure to many musicians music is seen as something along those lines. I on the other hand having no musical skill at all only see music as a string of pleasant sounds.

Korn? There are much stranger musicians than that, John Cage, for example.
Atonality, dissonance, consonance, serialism, impressionism. I think most people see music as consonance, whereas dissonance is equally as musical, but less pleasant on the ears =/

John Cage's song 4"33' is just 4 minutes and 33 seconds of the performer doing nothing but turn pages while sitting on a piano. The point of the song was to get the audience to listen to the sounds they themselves were making, and thus, each performance was different: Chance music. You need to step back to appreciate that kind of art, and most people don't and immediately write it off.

Good poetry. That's my thought on music too.
