I think we're using the word "music" too generously these days.
Art is whatever you want it to be. I personally think art must involve some creativity, though, so you can't just say anything is art.

That actually sounds really fucking cool when done right.YouTubeI personally just see Boulez as nonsense, but I don't know what he's actually trying to accomplish.

Whether or not it's shit is up to you.And they certainly don't do it to make a quick buck, considering how little artists make.

Eh. I don't class it as art if it didn't require a modicum of skill to make. Art is supposed to represent something, to actually take time and effort and passion on the creator's part to make - at least that's the general idea I've always grown up with.
