Music is an organization of both sound and silence together. There's not one solid definition of what music is, because it's different for every person. John Cage demonstrated that music is inherently embedded in silence, therefore saying that there is no absolute silence, while musicians from the 17th or 18th centuries would be appalled at that idea.
What is not music? I don't know. Music is art, and anything can be art.
