I see music making as a specific form of conceptual
art. 

Then again, I don't see much need to designate any art
as "conceptual" because it ALL is, but this has become
the catch-all phrase for many different forms of new
and experimental art which probably began long before
them but is best embodied by Fluxus. If it weren't for
that tradition and history, maybe there wouldn't be
such a sticky (and frankly redundant) phrase in front
of the word art. It would be some other -ism.
