Longhurst reading

Longhurt's discussion of the extension of the body into fluids and how we divide bodily fluids into "dirty" fluids like vomit and sweat and "clean" fluids like tears makes me think of the noises we make with our voice and which ones we consider music as opposed to just noise. We can make a wide range of noises including screaming, crying, talking, yelling, but for some reason we only consider "singing" musical. If someone were "crying on pitch," would that be music?
