Music created by accident

Music created by several people, by improvising, and which, against all odds, turns out to be successful, perfect

Music that you don't know if you composed it or not

Music that is born by chance from the conjunction of life's noises (horns, sirens, etc)

Music heard and recorded, used without knowing what it is

Music that you have in your head and that you cannot transcribe or reproduce

Music that you can only hum a few notes of, and that you like, evocative, but that you have almost completely forgotten

Music played in a deserted place, for nobody

Music written on a score, in an indecipherable notation system

Music written for instruments that don't exist or no longer exist, of which one has no idea of their sound

Music recorded on unreadable media or from which only fragments can be read

Work transmitted by dream or telepathy

Work dictated by God or an entity

Music played on an absolutely unique occasion

Music composed for another artist

Music composed secretly for another artist

Music composed secretly or not for another human being, in their honour or memory

Music of another, modified, manipulated, distorted

Stolen music

Commissioned music

Apocryphal work

Work by a fictitious author

Work that does not exist but has an author's name, title, tracklist and imaginary content described in detail

Lost work of which only reviews remain

Work of which only fragments remain, of varying sound quality

Unknown work

Work whose existence or not is subject to debate

Work known to be fictitious or apocryphal but whose provenance is in doubt

Music that is false and unbearable, but pure and sublime in another world, for other beings

Music that appeals to a sensory apparatus that human beings do not have.

Music that is audible to humans but is only a small part of a larger sensory work for beings with a much wider perception.
