That's wind hitting telegraph lines? Hah, I'm gonna start sitting under telegraph lines on windy days. Sounds good.

lol is that the track that is just silence?

If your of the Zen philosophy then yes, 4'33" is music. Otherwise it's just 6'-9" laterally.

Yeah. It's supposed to be really emotional when witnessed live. It's like soaking in the affects of what was previously heard as well as the sounds you hear during.

4'33" is definitely music, although I respect it on a more conceptual basis than a listening one. However, listening to it on noise cancelling headphones defeats the purpose :p:.

Well, the musicians are silent, but your environment (generally an orchestra hall, very echoey and full of spectators) does not, and that is the focus of the piece. I prefer Music of Changes to 4'33" because it uses silence well but does not let it overtake the whole piece.

Absolutely. It's about the sounds around you, those are the focus of the piece. The piece is different every time it is performed, which is what Cage was going for. That's the simple explanation.

lol John Cage is such a tool.

But yeah, he believed everything we hear is music, and made a silent track so we could listen to what's around us. It's certainly a kind of genius.
