I was enjoying this video so much until I forgot that Yoko Ono opens her mouth at 2:53.

I remember seeing this on PBS, about 22 years ago. It literally changed my world... I became absolutely fascinated with the avant garde and Zen because of this single documentary. The only part that I didn't like was when the subtitle ran at the bottom of the screen during 4'33" suggesting that people turn down the TV to hear the sounds of their own environment. It seemed obvious that the sound of the TV was just as much a part of the environment as any other sound!

how come it only coming out of one speaker
Unfortunately this is one of the few great Cage items left on Yt, most have been removed. Beck's grandfather Al Hansen was a colleague of Cage's in the Fluxus art movement(along with Yoko, Paik etc.)...Cage was a substantial influence on the wide spectrum of Beck's creative mindset...Cage's legacy although incredibly "contraversial" nevertheless remains essential, wish he was still with us! Thnx for posting

work of art. it has as much to do with our perceptions, of clearing from out minds any preconceived notions of what should be considered beautiful and what should not. Even rap music, if it's done well enough gives me the same feeling. the merging of the temporal and the eternal.
