@ubertuna1 Cage cant be called a composer if he never set notes down in a specific order on paper but he did so that is why people are recreating them in that way. If John Cage was truly devote to his "point" of music with chance, then he would have never recorded music on paper and would have been completely improvisational. And if he were strictly improvisational with his type of music then he would have been nothing more than a noise maker.

I find it extraordinarily ironic that the point Cage seemed to be trying to make with this piece, as well as with much of his other work, was that music can spring from anywhere, especially from the things we may interpret as random, chaotic, or simply noisy. Today, however, we see people recreating Cage's randomness exactly. I think Cage would have wanted us to explore new sounds we could achieve from the instrument, rather than replicating his own experiments. Just a thought.

My music teacher gets pissed when she hears a prepared piano. She sees it as a disgrace to alter an instrument like that I don't blame her one bit.

Does anyone know if the little pattern that is in this video is from a piece, and if it is, what piece it is?

@KaunisRoheIine by what im seeing.. he 's sticking nails in between stings to get a muted metallic bell sound

tried this but my piano got destroyed I guess I misplaced the nail
-
FYI: preparing a piano does not destroy or hurt it. They will need to be tuned afterwards but return to their natural state with no change to the integrity or timbre of the instrument.

@patek86 You're lack of appreciation and close-mindedness is reeeeaaally sad.
