music is already abstract. A Kandinsky painting does not actually resemble anything in reality, unlike a realistic painting.

Nothing in reality sounds like a pop song. It is completely abstracted from reality, whereas field recordings are technically the least abstract of music, but conversely one of the more avant garde.

people are always talking shit about abstract expressionism

Abstract music is invasive and overwhelming to the senses
A piece of abstract visual art just sits there

>>73440932
pretty much

Yeah, that is a point. The actual audible representation of art is somewhat abstract as it can't objectively represent something unless you count lyrics (if the music does have them). But then you get abstract vocals

>>73440910
That is true but you get canon abstract artists such as kandinsky that above anon mentioned

>>73441008
yeah some abstract art is like "my 5 yr can do this!!" and some is like "holy shit thats good"

Kandinsky is the latter, Malevich the former.

Well, it's not really music per se, just sounds.
