Close! It was John Cage who "composed" 4:33. You are correct, sir. Firing my fact checker now. I was thinking about how if the melody changes pitch, and does so at intervals, there is some kind of rhythm. But it isn't necessarily recognizable as rhythm, so I'm going to stand my ground on that one. I think the distinction would be that a lot of music has "time", but it isn't rhythmic. If the intervals of time between the pitch changes are long enough to not allow a discernable rhythm, I would agree with you, no need to stand your ground this time. Of course, then it would also be indistinguishable from New Age. <vbg>
