John Cage on Music and Art.
tags:
Stumble ThisI wish I'd lived through the artistic renaissance of 60's/70's. Hopefully there will be another one before I die.
I know this kind of free and indulgent talk is completely out of step with the times, but fuck it, I love John Cage. If people find this interesting, I'll try to dig up some of his pieces. He wrote some amazing stuff for prepared piano, percussion, household objects and just about any object or instrument you could imagine.
Note: I have no idea what the second half of the video is about.

I am also a fan of John Cage from what I have found on the tubes over the years.
Please post more.
thx

But you are in good company in dismissing him as the "emperor's new clothes". Cage is probably second only to Andy Warhol as the target of that accusation.
