What is considered music generally conforms to traditional standards and ideas.
Sounds representative of the observable reality of settings, atmospheres and phenomena are most often considered to be other than music.
These are reasonable, if inaccurate conclusions. Musical designs that intentionally replicate the patterns and movements of naturally-occurring sounds for aesthetic purposes combine aspects of both, yet conform to neither.
Except for Brian Eno's term ambient, or a broad (and generous) interpretation of the designation tone poem, such designs are nameless and undefined, fusions of aural imagery on the periphery of music.
