John Cage

In this video, we're exploring John Cage, his philosophies and works (some of them). Get the notebook out as we discuss prepared piano, Sonatas and Interludes (1946-48); Chance and Indeterminacy; 'Music of Changes' (1951); the concept of 'silence' and 4'33" (1952); his use of electronic music and multimedia; the piece 'Imaginary Landscape' No. 4 (1951); Zen Buddhism and Eastern Philosophy; Merce Cunningham; David Tudor; Allan Kaprow and the Fluxus Movement. There's a lot to get through, but don't worry: there's also some suggested reading and listening.
