    Reminds me of listening to my non-buffering CD player on the bus ride to school.

    I’d argue that nobody could call this music in the way that normal people understand what music is. It feels like an experiment in sound more than anything.

    A common definition I just looked up on “Music” is:

    vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony

    There is none of those in what you’ve linked. No rhythm, no melody, and nothing harmonious.

    So no, it doesn’t fit the definition of Music; therefore, I probably wouldn’t listen to it. I did sample other of the artists tracks like Wat Dong Moon Lek, Himalaya, Ahirya, and all of his pieces are like this. They aren’t really music.

      It’s interesting to me how different people interpret what music means to them. To me I would call this music as it fits the definition of melody

      A pleasing succession or arrangement of sounds.

      Of course that is subjective to everyone. To me Carl Stone’s tracks do have a beautiful melody. To others they feel chaotic, and to some they feel minimalist.

      No rhythm? It’s complicated, changing, but to my ears the whole thing is an exercise in rhythm.
