John Cage: The Sight of Silence at the National Academy of Design 

According to Cage himself he was not a very good chess player.

@@markbrooks7157 Thanks for the reply, Mark. So there you go, I don't know everything. Have a nice day, or evening, or night!

@@MikeFuller-ok6ok you too. Cage admitted his shortcomings while playing Marcel Duchamp who was considered quite a good chess player.

@@markbrooks7157 Thanks for the info. Going off at a tangent but mentioning polymaths, the Polish-British mathematician and polymath Jacob Bronowski was a very good chess player.

@@MikeFuller-ok6ok as was Brother Theodore. Are you familiar with him?

John Cage is actually mostly famous for using chance operations to his music as well.

Funny enough that your comment not so old as video, because I was recently saw Xenakis graphic notations book and he too have that idea about verticaly representation of music! I thought about it before, and I have assumption that people from past generation, like Cage doesnt think of time in music horizontally because that just was not in common with tools that was used at that time, and tropes too. Like, if we think of birth of cinema, they are not use time so strict to story of a movie, just an example. Also, Mika Vainio, one of those person who too say about that music representation not horizontally (nor vertically if i remember correctly). Maybe we all percive sounds differently. sorry for typos and my English lvl, I'm not native speaker.

Have you done it yet? That's the difference: people say the can, but they never do.
