Never mind, I'm not listening to them again.

I didn't know it was a contest. I guess the real winner is John Cage for this one.

Five years until the next chord change? Sounds like my kind of piece.

July 5, 2004

And I though 4'33 was ridiculous.

Well that's just one performance, he doesn't dictate how long the notes are played for so it could vary quite a bit. I've heard a few pretty good versions.

As if I needed more reason to think John Cage was a complete joke

To be fair there are like 20 minute performances of the piece.

This does not budge my opinion of John Cage

I like some of his stuff, but I can see why you don't certainly.

Do you guys know about this seriously ambitous piece? Started to coincide with the new millenium, part-composed by a former member of The Pogues, it has a series of non-repeating variations generated by a computer, I believe. How this live segment is tied into the overall work, I don't know.
