Many of us devote our lives, energy, talents, funding, and sanity to music. But what is it? Music is humanly organised sound. The birds and bees may also make pretty sounds. But despite the effusions of the poets, such sounds are not music by definition. According to Jean-Claude Risset : “Music is what you listen to when you feel like listening to music” (“La musique c’est ce que l’on écoute quand on a envie d’écouter de la musique”).
