The guys of Javelin sent me this track and I started thinking about "music" that wasn't necessarily thought of as such by those making it.

Here is a track of Pygmys hunting. PygmiesHunting.mp3
They are making sounds as they chase animals into a net. When I used to play this at home it would freak out the neighbor's cat.

And here is music that is a game:



or just a bath:



or working:




Someone whose work is sort of on this subject is the artist and composer Phill Niblock who makes movies of people working that accompany his music of slowly evolving drones.

In his series of films, titled The Movement of People Working, you have music that perhaps many people will not recognize as being musical accompanying silent projections of people who could be making sounds that we might feel actually is music.



This last track is a favorite of mine; it's from a record called Street and Gangland Rhythms on Folkways circa 1959. GangFight.mp3

The kids sound very young on this album subtitled Beats and Improvisations by Six Boys in Trouble.
Again, is this is some sort of a game or acting out of real life?
