Interesting work!
Thanks for share John Cage´s way of feeling sound

I dislike Cage's ... ( 1 month ago by RetardedRedHamster)

I dislike Cage's work, but "iwanttowatch" makes some valid and intelligent points. Maybe Cage's ideas are relevant to our perception of other more conventional music.
Maybe we can take Cage's ideas and benefit from them whilst ignoring his music if we don't like it.

Good point, plumgreen. I hope that even those of us who (as I do) reject his music accept other aspects of his philosophy.

It's the elegance ... ( 1 month ago by hgasdhgsd)

It's the elegance of the way he speaks which makes his comments sound more substantial than they actually are. His ideas aren't new, they are just aspects of perception which we've overlooked. He's more of an observer than an innovator; 'genius' is perhaps too great a claim, despite Schoenberg's comments.
But why such aggression in some of the comments other people have posted on YouTube? Here was a man who wanted to live in peace with everything - yet his work provokes aggressive argument.

This man is dead ... ( 1 month ago by ThePukingExperience)

This man is dead but his malign influence on art lives on. He set back the progress of twentieth-century music by his amateurish attitude towards music, which seems to have been motivated by frustration over his failure to succeed musically in early life, a fact which Cage enthusiasts want to cover up. But we should not let Cage's personal problems regards his artistic failure to influence the music being written today.
The man may be dead, but his vile anti-artistic ideas need to die too.

He's right. You ... ( 3 weeks ago by joznick1)

He's right. You don't have to go to music school to make music. Charlie Parker and John Coltrane never studied music at the university level and Miles dropped out of Julliard after just one year. (He studied classically there, no jazz program back then.) Also, what about people like Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, should we not consider them artists just because they don't have singer/songwriter degrees from Berklee? And discount people like Stevie, Marvin etc. and countless "rock" acts...? jeez

You are absolutely ... ( 3 weeks ago by joznick1)

You are absolutely right. The point is music as been around since before humans since before the beginning of time some would say and the most obvious proof of this is birds. Messiaen anyone?

Though you make some valid points, the truth is that the "artists" you mention here, no doubt, will be pretty much forgotten in 50 years or so. The real "greats" (classical composers) survive - and only those steeped in tradition (which means "studying at the conservatory") are candidates for immortality. This is a simple historical fact.

@ThePukingExperience: I don't think this kind of music will ever be played in children's piano recitals, if that's what you're worried about. Personally, I don't have to like his music to appreciate what he did for art. Your judgment on a man's desire to cover up his failures may not be far off (we'll never truly know what drove Cage to think about music this way), but you say it like it's fact, which is more vitriolic than anything John Cage has said here.
