About Silence

I watched some John Cage videos the other day. One was About Silence. He made this comment, it is so profound. Made me think a lot about it and inspired me to try a video under the influence, lol. Here is the comment he made and this is my video. The audio I created for this is titled, Free Spirit.

There was a German philosopher, who is very well known, Emanuel Kant and he said there are two things that dont have to mean anything...One is Music and the other is Laughter.
Dont have to mean anything that is, in order to give us very deep pleasure. But you know that dont you(looks to and pets his cat)

The sound experience which I prefer to all others, is the experience of silence. And the silence almost everywhere in the world now is traffic. If you listen to Beethoven or to Mozart you see that they are always the same, but if you listen to traffic, you see its always different.

John Cage, about silence. poet, artist, composer.
