John WOULD have loved it and probably given the kid a hug and told him "Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming!" He was far more open to real emotional responses like this (laughter IS an emotional response!) It's the traditional establishment that tries to suppress what Cage was all about!... and *I* love it!

Cage would have loved it. I once had a conversation with him after a New Music Ensemble seminar in upstate NY. A huge thunderstorm erupted during his Concert for piano. A kid in the back began to cry and would not be stopped. Cage liked the thunderstorm sounds but not the negative emotions the child conveyed, unfortunate though not a big deal. It was a memorable event; Carla Bley on piano, thunder and flashes of lightning blending with music the child became part of, part of a great experience. Cage would have loved the laughter in this performance.

I am 65-years-old, and I was laughing through this video ... a laughter of pleasure. For John Cage, happenstance, the accidental, the uncontrollable was an essential part of the music. He composed sound (or soundless) settings for the accidental and the uncontrollable to play out in. So he would have seen the child's laughter as part of the performance, part of the music. I get the impression you saw this as well, and so recognize that the "destruction" of your performance ... was the performance, precisely in the sense John Cage would have intended. Thank you for sharing it. It gave me great pleasure.

Cage would have loved this! It actually shows that Avant Garde music can have lots of humor in it so instead of taking a very humorous piece very seriously as some people do, this kid gives it some fun, adding the kinds of sounds and moods that Cage would have adored.

At first I thought this was clickbate, but actually I'm glad I'm here. Irrespective of the intended inference of the video title, this is by far one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. As a composer I'm so encouraged to see this. Interaction with an audience, whatever the intention of the piece, or reception is what making music is all about. And the fact that this piece gets such a positive response from the audience through the joy of laughter, is such a special thing - especially that it's not gimmicky or trite or gaudy. What other composer, who doesn't write melodic and easy-listening music, can say that. Why so serious?! Such a niche audience and yet such an overwhelmingly thoroughly enjoyed response. (Man I'm gushing here). But if you're a composer experimenting, trying out new things, looking for a voice, an identity to express and share with others, remember John Cage, and remember how he never stopped playing with both material and audiences! I think this is EXACTLY what he intended. If you know John Cage's work at all, this is obvious! And you'll always be missing something special if you expect to receive Cage's music like a passive stage-gazer. Peace.

This what I meant - Joh Cage would be really happy to see that kind of interaction between me (as performer) and that kid who destroyed performance. This performance was one of biggest motivater to "compose" more and more pieces in this style.

@AnthonyLeighDunstan 7 жыл бұрын
Vairis Nartiss yes I agree, it's just your choice of the word "destroy". It's a very heavy word, especially in this context - art and a child's innocent honest response to it. So I think this is why I took issue with it. I don't mean to be patronising but do you perhaps mean 'distract' or 'disturb' - these words are a little softer and infer more that your 'intention' was to perform this piece without 'distraction' - as you being the performer, I can understand this laughter to be off-putting which is interesting since someone in the comments suggested Cage didn't write anything that required any real musical focus or aptitude - obviously not the case. I find your response to the child's intense joy also very endearing. There is suddenly something very human and fallible which for me is remarkable coming from an edgy character such as Cage, and being a contemporary composer myself. Well, great piece, brilliant performance. Thank you!

How did the kid destroy anything here? Active perception of music is the basis for the postmodern music performance. The sounds don't have any meaning until the audience decide otherwise. In here, the audience decided that the sounds are meant to entertain - which is an important role music has too.
