Blog 2: What is music?

After listening and watching some of Cage's performances it is clear that anything can be music according to him. As a musician I tried to follow any sort of rhythm or tempo in his performances but it was difficult for me because his music is not consistent at all. However, his methods are very interesting and unique which is good with today's music that almost all sounds the same. Hamilton sheds a whole new perspective on the idea of music as well that also shows that music can be anything and has been studied throughout history. I'm looking forward to our 4 33 performance and learning more of Cage's and Hamilton's perspective's on music.
