The musician performs an act of Arts and the producer today uses science to produce great works of art using sciences and tech. The most beautiful structural designs in modern cities today are a work of art and sciences, in fact going back to the Ancient Pyramids which were also a work of both arts and sciences. So why not, its important that 'A' is added to STEM to debunk the discimination towards the Arts. Its always the artist is in their state of cognitive genesis, when a new idea is being birth, who come up with designs that give science a meaning hence forth the creative process combines both the arts and the sciences.
