Cage also defined music as "organized sound", which I like a lot.

are you some sort of musical prescriptivist, Faldage?



That might, as BranShea pointed out, be a characteristic, it isn't a very good definition and what Cage comes up with doesn't seem to have that characteristic anyway. I guess if expecting a composer to have some idea what a composition is going to sound like is prescriptivist then prescriptivism is in a pretty sad state.
