I do wonder what it might have felt like to have read these pieces at the time they were first published. Even though I did enjoy reading the book in general (and know that experiencing Cage's lectures in real life would have been far more engaging than reading their merely written recreations), every now and then, I got impatient with what felt like the schtickiness of Ram Dass' "Be Here Now"—which also probably would have come across differently had I read it at the time it was first published. i once had a dream that i found a hardcover john cage book in a used bookstore, and the moment i picked it up, i felt a profound, beyond bone-deep sense that this was The One, The Book. it was one of the most comforting dreams i've ever woken from. a year or so later, i found 'silence' in a pile of books i was sorting through at the used bookstore where i worked at the time, and i felt a little thrill... not quite The One, but i'm holding onto it anyway. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

John Cage is the outstanding composer of avant-garde music today. The Saturday Review said of him: "Cage possesses one of the rarest qualities of the true creator- that of an original mind- and whether that originality pleases, irritates, amuses or outrages is irrelevant." "He refuses to sermonize or pontificate. What John Cage offers is more refreshing, more spirited, much more fun-a kind of carefree skinny-dipping in the infinite. It's what's happening now." -;The American Record Guide "There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot. Sounds occur whether intended or not; the psychological turning in direction of those not intended seems at first to be a giving up of everything that belongs to humanity. But one must see that humanity and nature, not separate, are in this world together, that nothing was lost when everything was given away." No library descriptions found. |
