How so?
Here are a few definitions of music:
1.) sounds, usually produced by instruments or voices, that are arranged or played in order to create an effect
2.) the art of arranging or making sounds
Noise (whether created through electronics or Russolo's electroacoustic instruments) is considered a type of sound, and if someone were to utilize them in a composition... then it is considered (by definition) to be music.
John Cage even argued that "non-musical" sounds, such as traffic, birds chirping, etc, could be considered music... but that is a far more liberal definition for the word (and a debate for another day).
Oh... and welcome to the site. Making your first post in the Futurist Composers thread is a plus in my book.
