My personal definition of music: Sound created and/or perceived as having purpose and some degree of non-utilitarian intent ("non-utilitarian intent" meaning: not created and/or perceived as subservient to another object, function, or activity) within the context of an artistic dialogue (whether or not the music is consciously created and/or perceived as part of any dialogue is irrelevant, since no art exists in a vacuum).

... sometimes I think I should have gone to law school instead of music school.
