John Cage!

So yeah going to start off saying he is pretty awesome in his own way. He brought up a whole new look at music. His style was completely different than what has been done before him. Many thought that his music was odd and weird but then again it wasn't really. I think his music was odd yes but then it was good at the same time. There has been many things that his music introduced to the world of music. Everyone knows his most famous piece and that is his 4:33. I still chuckle the one day in class when we watched a film on Cage and they showed 4:33 and a statement scrolled across the bottom of the screen saying that we can turned down the tv now. I mean really? I thought that was so funny because I was just sitting there thinking about how it is already silent and it's telling us to turn it down. I don't know that could of just been me. I found that Cage was very interesting because also during the time that he was making his music there was very interesting art being created during that time as well. That point in time was just a huge transformation for the arts. I guess I just have a lot of appreciation for him because of all that he has done for music as well as many people. Showed that people can be creative and open to do just about anything. So cool how there is barely any limits now to what people can do.
