I was born five years after his passing, but this man has impacted my life so much. He had an amazing mind for music and I swear, every sentence he says is full of wisdom. I get happily teary eyed when I watch these documentaries.

I was born in 1995 TT_TT. His music helps me when I go into psychotic states something that even my favorite songs by other artists and composers can't. His sonatas and interludes are able to ground me back to earth and almost reprogram my brain. Also his voice is so soothing.

I enjoy telling people my favourite composition ever is 4'33 without giving them any premise as to what to expect. The idea is to tell people they need to sit in silence, and absorb the sounds of whatever happens within that silence. Has inspired my writing and view of music and life further.

John Cage is a master music philosopher, Zen teacher and so to the point. When I met him he was reading from a book he wrote. That was the music. His voice his words his mind.

" It's not good manners to discuss the point of the question." Cage knew how to keep up with good manners! Thankful for this video.

Because, everything is vibration. I knew John Cage at my fourteen, when i was searching for experimental ambient music in KZbin and then i found 4'33 - that's blowing my mind when I was heard it for the first time, now I'm 26. What a enlightenment experience I feels. John Cage's lamentation thoughts impact me on everything in my life, and this day I'll ran into noisecians project for having fun and feed my inner-ear-soul from farming fields collage sounds in the earth. Big Thanks John, see you in another dimension. Peace.

The author asked to make a list is "Beckett," probably Samuel Beckett. He then says that "Finnegan's Wake" isn't on the list. In fact [James] Joyce isn't on the list, because he is in a class by himself. Is the the spot you're talking about?

Since 2017 I've spent a bit of time trying to figure this out myself... I wonder about it again every six, nine, twelve months. It is almost certainly one of Cage's Number Pieces, where the number/title indicates the number of players/instruments. The remarkably beautiful one-minute excerpt seems to include flute, oboe (maybe clarinet??), horn (maybe trombone??), violin (one or two), viola, cello... Tell me if you hear anything different. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_Pieces#Six_to_Twenty the only number pieces with similar instrumentation are: SEVEN for flute, clarinet, percussion, piano, violin, viola and cello TEN for flute, oboe, clarinet, trombone, percussion, piano, 2 violins, viola and cello THIRTEEN for flute, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, bassoon, trumpet in C, tenor trombone, tuba, two percussionists, 2 violins, viola and cello FOURTEEN for flute/piccolo, bass flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, horn, trumpet, two percussionists, bowed piano, 2 violins, viola, cello and double bass It's feasible we'd hear no percussion or piano in a one-minute excerpt, but to not hear 5-7 of the players...? Not sure about that. So-what recordings of these would have existed when the film was made? SEVEN is from May 1988, TEN from October-November, 1991, THIRTEEN from May 1992, FOURTEEN from 1990. web.archive.org/web/20070731140134/www.johncage.info/workscage/seven.html web.archive.org/web/20080416154330/www.johncage.info/workscage/ten.html web.archive.org/web/20070823190237/www.johncage.info/workscage/thirteen.html web.archive.org/web/20080416153213/www.johncage.info/workscage/fourteen.html There's also SIXTEEN which was scrapped and never published, but perhaps the filmmaker had access to an unreleased (rehearsal?) recording of it? web.archive.org/web/20070731135047/www.johncage.info/workscage/sixteen.html The sound quality and mixing sounds very similar to the two IVES ENSEMBLE albums with SEVEN, TEN, and FOURTEEN, but I haven't found this particular moment anywhere. It also sounds similar to ENSEMBLE 13's two recordings of THIRTEEN, but again I couldn't find this moment... These recordings were released around the time of composition, which was also when much of this documentary was being filmed. Later, in 2006, THE BARTON WORKSHOP released an album including Fourteen, Seven, Ten, Three²... So, that was also out before the film was released in 2012. Anyone else have any other ideas?

I believe John hated self interpretation of sound. Not that it doesn't have meaning but to avoid inherit ascribed meaning as a composer.

@kgroveringer032 жыл бұрын
For someone like me who is susceptible to extreme feelings of being overwhelmed and anxiety, I find Cage’s philosophy to be not just fascinating but also incredibly valuable. Quietening the mind is something that’s necessary for me to retain control of my emotions and mental well-being, especially during the stress-provoked outbursts that I’m prone to having, so I have to disagree with your sentiment.

the world is actually full of people imposing their will on others. the use of chance procedure in composition is a way to direct the attention towards the sounding phenomena, instead of the composer's intention.
