Give me a break; just because a musician may use a sound of nature in their music it does not automatically make the sound of nature music. You are reaching on that one. Why don’t you tape of video of yourself pouring water on a roof and send it to Juilliad’s school of music and see how excited they are to sign you up. Lol.

What distinguishes human music from other sounds is it is an art form. It is designed to invoke a particular reaction, emotion, or interpretation by the listener. So a bird's mating call could be considered music in a generic sense, but not as an art form. Only humans produce artistic music.
