John Cage "4'33"

haha wow i loved that. my favorite part, other than hearing the people who couldn't keep quiet during the performance, was the quick intermissions between movements when everyone let all their coughing and sneezing out.

was is das denn wieder für ne sinnlose idee einer sogenannten "künstlers".
ich finde es völlig bescheuert und überflüssig sowas überhaupt zu zeigen. oh mein gott, was haben wir schon fürn niveau erreicht, dass manche leute sowas toll finden? ---> das sollte einem zu denken geben, auf welchem standpunkt die heutige gesellschaft schon ist. echt schockierend sowas.

sucks, 1 star, you want to "listen" to silence?? go to your local library

It must have been a hard piece of work, writing this shit.

it isn't joke

I think John Cage "wrote" this just to troll the art world.

no there was not silence, but there wasn't music either.

I think that is the absurd of the whole experimentation with music, a joke to the composition.

Interesting maybe, I wouldn't say enjoyable or listenable in any way though.

Ah, but there you're wrong. Because there wasn't silence. You could hear the rustling of the crowd, the mumbles and coughing: All the sounds that a musician doesn't intend to be in a piece. But John did, and that's why it's wonderful.
