Anyone who reads this blog probably knows about this famous "musical composition". Say what you want about him, but there's no denying that John Cage artistically accomplished what he set out to do with this piece.You just may not agree with it. In theory, you can watch the video with the volume on or off. After all, it's about the sound outside of the piece that differentiates it from the rest. I propose a hip hop remix in the near future.
If that floats your bloat, check out this equally stimulating (and challenging) piece that seeks to take ordinary household appliances and turn it into something close to music. What is music anyway? This piece adjusts the definition.
Digital Short - Stomp: Inspired by John Cage? Here's a recent SNL skit that seems quite "Cageian" in its methods.
