If there are no notated pitches, it is not music. It is performance art. Thanks for making my point.
Phil, where in the world did you get such a narrow definition of music? I don't know ANYONE who defines music so narrowly.
For that matter, there are PLENTY of notated pitches, along with non-notated pitches, and unpitched notation, in a lot of music.
Is no piece that has a drum part music to you? Does ANY amount of rhythmic speech in a song disqualify it immediately as music to you? What should we call music that isn't entirely notated pitches that existed before the term "performance art" existed? What do we call music that isn't written down?
I don't know whether you are being deliberately argumentative for entertainment value or not.
