John Cage "4'33"

the sound ssurronding the ambient noises create music itself basically noise and nature around you is silence as music

Silence.

ok, so please tell me what it is, I mean that I don't know much about music. I just wrote what I felt

thats exactly for what i would have been very happy for,for paying something for the performance

yes he wanted people to experience silence, but even silence isn't the same for everyone. Each one would experience something different during this time, exactly because music is a subjective and multilateral concept.

smiled all the way through. dada meets buddha

You seem really arrogant pretending you know his exact intentions. Music is art and art is to be interpretated and I exposed my interpretation, only that.

If you don't agree that's your point of view, but i guess you missunderstood what i said anyway. When I said his/her own music I didn't mean the person will imagine a music he likes, I meant Cage wanted to prove everything can be considered music and each individual would feel silence in a different way.

GamaMagnum... your response is completely wrong. John did not want "each one to create his/her own 'music' during this time," it was truly meant to be the sound of nothing. It was John's favorite sound, and he wanted people to experience silence... nothingness.

I knew John very well, and I've discussed this piece with him numerous times. Don't assume what you don't know.

silence as an idea not in a concrete way...Cage wanted each one to create his/her own "music" during this time, because he is trying to show music is a subjective concept and doesn't belong only to its author.

anw, it seems we can't call our society "disgusting" nowadays that we already receive a negative point in the comment...funny though.

A wonderful performance of a true classic.
