Thank you Paul Schuette. The best performance of Water Walk since 1960. Well done. But why the "music" in the beginning and at the end, that's not necessary. Silence is a key ingredient of the music of John Cage.

Can't stop singing this one.

Not sure if total non-music

Or the work of a troubled genius

I once worked at a floor manufacturing plant housed in a large, ancient building. My particular area was usually deserted; a huge disused set of ovens that looked like a series of long brick corridors with 100 foot ceilings. The lights were always very low, and when I sat in the middle of one of the oven-halls, I could hear the distant rattles, ringing, sharp noises and dull thuds of production to my left and right. A perfect cacophony of peace and randomness that Cage captures so ideally here.

The radio pushing and hitting was only an improvisation done by Cage because they (assuming you're referencing the performance from "I've Got a Secret") wouldn't allow the radios to be plugged in. Therefore he decided that hitting them would substitute for turning them on, and pushing them for turning them off. The way it is performed here is the way it was meant to be performed.

First time I heard this, I wasn't so sure, But now, I'm in awe.

Close your eyes and listen.
