A vibration that propagates as an audible wave of pressure through a
transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid (the air itself is a
transmission medium)
beginning with the eardrum, sound waves are translated into pitch, or a
tonotopic map, and then shortly thereafter "speech and music probably
diverge into separate processing circuits"
Singing is strongly present in many different species.[45][46] Wide
dispersal of singing behavior among very different animal species, like
birds, gibbons, whales, and many others strongly suggests that singing
appeared independently in different species. Currently, there are about
5400 species of animals that are known to sing. At least some singing
species demonstrate the ability to learn their songs, to improvise and
even to compose new melodies.
Danger music is an experimental form of avant-garde 20th and 21st
century music. It is based on the concept that some pieces of music can

performed, danger music can also be thought of more as a form of noise
music.[clarification needed] For example, Takehisa Kosugi's composition

or her eyes five years from now. Works such as this are also sometimes
referred to as anti-music because they seem to rebel against the concept
of music itself.
