Death metal growls used to be something I just couldn't take seriously, then at some point I realized that I didn't actually have take music seriously to enjoy it.

And yet you can't take power metal?

I've never heard any that I enjoyed. If you have some recommendations, by all means let me know.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Yeah, it's performance art. I don't even know how it qualifies as a piece, and the fact that you self-consciously keep calling it that suggests that you don't either.

It's because piece is conventional terminology for a classical music composition. Go ahead and ignore the fact that the piece is all about sound and expanding the paradigm of what we consider instruments.

But regardless of whether or not there is sheet music to it, it was only composed in the technical sense. Cage could have put any number of rests on that page and it would have meant nothing. He could have literally put nothing and it would have been just as meaningless. No matter how you feel about 4'33, calling it a piece or a composition is like calling a paper airplane an actual plane. Technically correct, but ****ing pointless.

So stop calling it a piece cause it's ****ing stupid.

And using words like "paradigm" when trying to explain pretentious nonsense is just as stupid as calling 4'33 a piece.

What have I begun?

Lulz. And I guess that there being fifty different ways to dictate an A# invalidates any notation using that note too then?

Like I mentioned earlier, I'm using my brain to form my opinion and that occasionally includes words.

A conversation with someone smarter than you.
