This definition ignores the possibility of "remapping" music's temporal dynamics into other sense domains (i.e. visual music); however, when communicating with other people, it is difficult to overcome the traditional stigmas that pervasive terms (music) tend to perpetuate. In this case, music tends to be viewed strictly as an auditory experience. Christopher Penrose jesus!penrose Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
