Most songs nowadays lack harmony…and some would say melody lol. It sounds like just a rhythm with someone shouting over the top.
Rhythms is always a good word to use if you play hangman.
You cant beat chords.

You posted ten seconds too early desmondy lol.
I don’t deny that cage influenced many people and the skill is in the idea as martin says…but i guess it comes down to what do we really want from art?
Are we happy to just tap our feet and dance to the music released today or do we need to know about harmony and counterpoint to appreciate Bach.
Art to most..be it music,painting or sculpture etc is an escape from the daily grind and it gives us a chance to explore our imaginative side.
It rather annoys me nowadays that there are some great musicians about who will never be noticed.
Ps…i may disappear for long periods of time but i will always come back to haunt this thread martin
:D :D
Why did i laugh..well what were the audience applauding?
You could argue they were applauding themselves as the 4″33 of sounds in the room at the time were the composition..i think that was the intent.
Laughter and music don’t have to mean anything to give us pleasure.
I guess it all comes down to the meaning of the piece and the meaning of art as a whole…to some a blank canvas would not be art.
In cages own words He describes music as sound and sound as music. Both are made merely of sounds, but it is our expectations that delineate music from sound, and it is the ascriptions of meaning in our listening that makes music more than it need be. Cage explains that sounds needn’t “talk”,
As a musician who has slaved over bach etc for years i see nothing musical about the piece which is what i would go to a concert for.
