Jeferson Torres. A perfect statement, considering that music exists naturally in the mind, heart and soul of everything.

Jeferson Torres: Perhaps one of my favourite comments on RU-vid

This is why avant-garde music is absurd (among other reasons). If everything is art, NOTHING is art. When you consider everything music, you are not expanding music, you are KILLING it, because you are making it not different from what is not music. Noise can be part of music (a recording of ambient sounds accompanying a piece, for example). But noise cannot be music itself. We humans have a term, "music" (different from "noise"), for a reason. Not because we are closed minds.

@@TheBoinaman1 In my opinion, which is so much or less important than yours: The thing is..... Art is in the eyes of the beholder. In this case in the ears of the listener. Music does not have to be something that can be described on a paper, shines immediately at you or awakes warm memories, it can be a lot more than that and as usual, have different meanings for different people. The problem here is not the music itself but our interpretation. We adapt to one specific role that music can have and we are not open minded to accept a completely different way of seeing, feeling, hearing and understanding music. We can decide what our ears can hear and at certain point we are the ones who decide if it is art for us or just a guy eating a sandwich. As a conclusion, I´m not saying that I love avant-garde music, or even John Cage´s music,since from my prespective, this music was not created/developed to use "everything" as a state of art but better to search for new ways to question it and question YOU about it. So now.... how is it going to be? Is it it art? or poop?

@@TheBoinaman1 Nah. John Cage already teaches in 4'33" that so much of what we consider music in the first place (and always has been) relies on social cues and our willingness to shift our modes of hearing. Even a neighbor playing what people would call "conventional music" loudly at 3 in the morning would most likely be registered as noise-because you're not willing to listen to it as music, and the social contexts are all wrong. Also, the idea of "avant-garde music" being all about the same thing is not only needlessly dismissive but also ridiculous. That single term covers many different approaches, philosophies, and sounds of music.

What an awesome comment you covey yours words perfectly to describe the type of man is presume to be❤

wowy!

And it works brilliantly!

@@funnyusername8635 My farts are brilliant music too. Wanna buy the record?

Was he nice? How was it meeting him?

EppcoFan51 Yes, he was nice, easygoing, not very tall (I'm 5' 9" and he was smaller). I rarely ask for autographs but he did sign my concert program. My older daughter (21) freaks out whenever I put on a CD by Cage. She can't get over the strange noises in his music. In my prior comment, it's Sonatas and Interludes. My computer underlines every word because it expects me to be writing in Spanish, so typoes get by.

Michel Angstadt I guess. It must've been a nice experience for you to see the dude and his work. I'm 16 years old, and I love his music too. Why once, I listened to Williams Mix, and I experienced a whole new world of art, sound, silence, and avantgarde creativity, and if John Cage were still alive, or at least recreated from the ashes of the dead, I would've congratulated him for inventing a lot of creative works that still survive today.

Joseph Evans John Cage changed my conception of what is aceptable in the concert hall. I have always been very fussy about unharmonic noise in the concert hall, in other words the noise made by the audience (candy wrappers, women massaging their handbag, people fluttering through the concert program, chattering, heavy breathing, even the beat of a quartz watch behind or beside me). My wife stopped going with me to concerts because she couldn't stand my sign language asking people to keep quiet. Although Cage is best when performed live, I do have a few recordings by him (piano and voice, piano and violin, prepared piano, piano alone, 11 CDs altogether). I envy your age and curiosity (I had never heard of John Cage when I was 16). There's an awful lot to be appreciated out there in the world of culture. This said, besides classical music, contemporary music, jazz, blues and rock and roll, I can also enjoy populat music of the type so often found here on RU-vid, for instance Carly Rae Jepsen, that kind of stuff :)

Joseph Evans "Acceptable" in the concert hall. My spell check underscores everything I write in English, making it hard for me to notice typoes.

Dude... you are out of your mind

DHMO moment

"Musical form."

I think Cage "included" the laughter in the piece

***** I agree! But the only reason why I want to hear it without laughter is because the piece is hard to hear :/

i think if he consciously included the laughter then he's a genius but it really blends in perfectly..

Oh, no, whatever happens works.

The laughter (and other sounds) are as much a part of the music as the sounds Cage makes during the performance. This is a greatest thing about his indeterminate works; it allows in all the sounds that occur, thus avoiding the artificial separation that listening to music often entails.

Holy carp! that is a good philosophy

That is precisely what i did. I found it rather appealing that way. Rather than watching him preform, I found that just listening with my eyes closed, I could construct my own idea of what could be happening with this music being played. As if there were music played like theme songs during moments in our lives. I found it to be eerie and dark, even the audiences laughter seemed to fit. I enjoyed it.

It literally says "Play Dominant 7th chord" and then "Slam Lid" or something in the score... Three even is a score video of it on RU-vid

What kind of cadence is that?

@@segmentsAndCurves Cage-dence.

@@Elintasokas It's 1AM. I desperately need this. Thanks for reminding me to go to sleep.

awesome the goose flute so great ...l.o.l.!

Asmr?

But my friend as John Cage said " The laughter is part of the performance".

@@user-dr3pz4se4v Yes

John Gerling Did you?

I'm supposed to be analyzing this now so Im searching for comments!! "list and explain THREE REASONS why this should rightfully be considered music."

Feels like the composition could also work as horror music; and the audience laughing can also add kind of a dark vibe.

Nah he was very inspired by Zen Buddhism. I'd recommend you look into the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony for a far older example of the music of the sounds of objects.

ASMR refers to a physical response. I know it's become ubiquitous for sounds based content... but it's like saying he invented a feeling.

LMAO
