Re: OT: John Cage Music 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

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)
