Is literature superior to music in terms of artistic merit?

no, books are for nerds

>>69954896
The limitations that music sets on itself by nature cause it not to be able to express the same way books can do.

There is no answer.

Yes, of course.

>>69954970

>>69954970
Exactly. Close the thread

No. Sound is limitless. Musical appreciation is intrinsic to humanity. Diverse venues of appreciation (playing music, listening to music, seeing live performance, dancing). Music can access literature through lyrics.

Yes, but music is the superior art form.

Literacy is a prerequisite skill to appreciating literature. Anybody that can hear can appreciate fundamentally music concepts such as tone, rhythm, and harmony. There's a greater breadth of emotional character and depth without the need for traditional standards of composition and songwriting.

It's the same with film. There isn't really any such thing as experimental literature to push the medium forward in any particular direction.

You've got the right idea, but I think you misunderstood the question.

>Sound is limitless
there is a finite amount of frequencies, while language evolves with society.
in a given future, there will be no more room for music experimentation while there will always exist experimentation on literature because of its nature.

>>69955153
Oh shit ya I misunderstood

>>69955177
No two field recordings will be the same

>>69955213
No to fields will be the same, sound recordings will be a poor representation.

lets see literature created the bible which has shaped society
what has music created again?
oh ya hip hop,rock and edm which is currently destroying society

lit > music

>>69955082
No. Literature is limitless. Literal appreciation is intrinsic to humanity. Diverse venues of appreciation (writing literature, reading literature, studying literature). Literature can access music through lyrics.

None of which are comparable equivalents to abstract concepts of sonics, such as atonality, microtonal music, and alternative scale structures.

Language has a tighter threshold for abstraction than sound.

I mean, we're engaging in a discussion.

Would you call this art?

>>69955684
Then we're on the same page. :-)

>>69955678
Not him, but absolutely, yes.

There is no artistic merit in music.
