Guess what, I don't know about other cultures, but in East Asian culture at least, many natural sounds not produced by living organisms can also be considered music, especially since they have a greater fondness for the nature and Daoism. For example, the sound of a waterfall hitting on the rocks can be music, a gust of wind blowing through a narrow valley can be music, the sound of a rainfall can be music, etc. Modern instruments are merely more complex derivatives of those primitive forms of sounds.
From a different angle, what's so different between a person who produces music with a violin and a person who produces music with a computer program?
