You can think of music by analogy to two-dimensional art. Recordings are all different kinds of printed media: a CD of a symphony is (at best) a photograph of an oil painting like you would find in an expensive book. I mostly work in black and white. If it's not reproducible in the back pages of a newspaper, I probably wouldn't know how to do it. Now we might be approaching my sense of what defines folk music as opposed to, say, rock and roll.
