"I Have Nothing To Say, And I Am Saying It." - John Cage
-
is he high ? ;)
-
Virgil Thompson said that Cage had no ear, and it seems he didn't except for his own brand of music. Then how did he write 'In a Landscape'. Nice piece.
-
Every time he speaks, I can't help but to smile with him, you can just feel his love for music travel through time and captivate you completely. Truly the purest musical spirit to have ever existed.
-
he looks damn good for 80 years old

ONE OF HIS LAST INTERVIEW..HE PASSED AWAY IN 92..JOHN CAGE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST MUSICIAN AND ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING TRUE AND REALEST MUSICIAN ALIVE OUT HERE IN NY

I love John Cage and I can totally connect to him (: everytime i watch this i appreciate sounds in my daily life more. And it's amazing. <3 *Laughs (:

@timtsang3 I think you are correct. Cage is a composer yet Cage as philospher is more dominant, more followed. I think unintenionality is something natural to music, art, or life of any kind. But Cage was more embracing of this tendency and brought attention to it. So we can apply a discipline of not imposing our intentions on so many things, and can open ourselves to new possibilities. If we chose to apply control after that --- as a separate discipline -- why not?
-
I agree with the prior post. I think what Cage is pointing at can only be heard by the ear of the inner heart, not necessarily just the physical ear.
Somepeople I think just don't know how to access that. Cage was one of the most important men in the 20th century. Duh. Instead they criticize peoples taste in video..... ?

@ nobodady1: thanks for sharing. So what must one do to understand this unintentionality? it seems people are more drawn to Cage's concepts and statements than his "physical" works...
why are you so aggressive?
anyway...
you favourited a video named "PeanutButter Jelly Time Remix - Dance Edition"
i don't need to add anything else...
enjoy your vids

@874rt Commonplace utterances? I disagree entirely. These are words from one of the finest musical philosophers of our time. This proves why we, as Cage said, define music separately from sound, and therefore let 'sounds be themselves'.
