Scores
hallo Rick,
heyy thanks so much. of course.. The thing
is that I had gotten so stuck in my electronic world that when someone asked
me to play a John Cage piece, my heart said "yes!"... what a relief! I am
learning so much just by learning to play his piece, it is a completely other
way of thinking. I think it is unfortunate that I only now understood the
importance of this. I was taught how to play piano with a very linear
classical thinking... mozart etc.
I had already been thinking about
creating my own instrument and Cage is confirming this, but I am not sure if I
should continue using the computer for this or not...
and my question
is: how much does the generational switch imply not complying and to
who?
and at the end of things, this is really not about
rebellion....
greetings
nadia

Re: OT: John Cage Music Scores
Dear Nadia,
This reply is
not helpful in a practical way (and please forgive me in
advance for
being irreverent)
but my thought is that as wonderful as John Cage
is,
I want to urge you to write your own songs with prepared
piano.
He started that whole movement but only took it soo far. So
much can be
done (and hasn't been, already)
with the concept of
preparing piano (or any instrument really).
Why play John Cage? Why
not be the next generations' John Cage?
Do you see what I'm
saying?
yours, Rick
(trying to figure out how to fuck up his
Yamaha spinet as he writes this)
