John Cage

John Milton Cage Jr. (September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992) was an American composer, music theorist, writer, and artist. A pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. Critics have lauded him as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century. He was also instrumental in the development of modern dance, mostly through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham, who was also Cage's romantic partner for most of their lives.

Cage is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition 4′33″, which is performed in the absence of deliberate sound; musicians who present the work do nothing aside from being present for the duration specified by the title. The content of the composition is not "four minutes and 33 seconds of silence," as is often assumed, but rather the sounds of the environment heard by the audience during performance. The work's challenge to assumed definitions about musicianship and musical experience made it a popular and controversial topic both in musicology and the broader aesthetics of art and performance. Cage was also a pioneer of the prepared piano (a piano with its sound altered by objects placed between or on its strings or hammers), for which he wrote numerous dance-related works and a few concert pieces. The best known of these is Sonatas and Interludes (1946–48).

Etudes Boreales

Etudes Boreales is a set of etudes for cello and/or piano composed by John Cage in 1978. The set is a small counterpart to Cage's other etude collections - Etudes Australes for piano and Freeman Etudes for violin.

Etudes Boreales were composed for, and dedicated to, Jack and Jeanne Kirstein. The latter performed Cage's piano works in the 1970s, but found Etudes Boreales unplayable; the first performer to find a way to play the pieces was percussionist Michael Pugliese (Pritchett, 199).

The set comprises four pieces. The cello parts are technically similar to Freeman Etudes: they are extremely demanding pieces composed using chance operations, every aspect of the work meticulously detailed in the score. The difference between the works is that in Etudes Boreales the pitch range is limited at any given time, and changes throughout the pieces, whereas in Freeman Etudes the range was unlimited. An excerpt from one of the etudes shows that the technique required involves the ability to jump accurately to any point on the fingerboard or beyond, which is particularly difficult in these pieces as they are to be played without vibrato (Stowell, 221):

New York

New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.

With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

It is not only his music that this reputation is based on – his ideas were revolutionary, and he cast doubt on the supremacy of European art, and music when it was unchallenged and such views were considered heretic. Cage rejected the status held by harmony, instrumentation, and even the development of music from one point to another. He disconnected harmony from rhythm to liberate western music from its hitherto privileged hierarchies – iconoclastic stuff for 1940s America! Cage studied with Schoenberg in Los Angeles, and although he adopted the 12-tone technique he abandoned Schoenberg’s expressionist style. Cage was also influenced the maverick composer – Erik Satie. Satie had also ridiculed the musical establishment, and Cage arranged Satie’s longest work Socrate (a monodrama for piano and voice) for two pianos. It is worth mentioning that Cage’s favourite Satie composition was Vexations, a short work for piano, with instructions that it may be performed 840 times without pause or change. 00:00:00 Three Easy Pieces (1933): Round 00:01:54 Three Easy Pieces (1933): Duo 00:02:36 Three Easy Pieces (1933): infinite CaNon 00:03:11 Three Easy Pieces (1933): Quest 00:04:01 Metamorphosis (1938): Metamorphosis I 00:06:17 Metamorphosis (1938): Metamorphosis II 00:08:54 Metamorphosis (1938): Metamorphosis III 00:13:59 Metamorphosis (1938): Metamorphosis IV 00:15:13 Metamorphosis (1938): Metamorphosis V 00:17:43 Jazz study (1942) 00:20:20 Tripled paced (first version, 1943): Tripled paced - 1a versione I 00:21:16 Tripled paced (first version, 1943): Tripled paced - 1a versione II 00:22:07 Tripled paced (first version, 1943): Tripled paced - 1a versione III 00:22:43 Ad lib 00:25:46 Soliloquy 00:28:21 Ophelia 00:34:45 Two pieces (1946): Two pieces I 00:38:22 Two pieces (1946): Two pieces II 00:42:07 in A landscape 00:50:08 Dream 00:56:24 Suite for toy Piano - versione per Pianoforte - I 00:57:42 Suite for toy Piano - versione per Pianoforte - II 00:59:09 Suite for toy Piano - versione per Pianoforte - III 01:00:20 Suite for toy Piano - versione per Pianoforte - IV 01:01:52 Suite for toy Piano - versione per Pianoforte - V 01:02:47 Seven Haiku I 01:03:00 Seven Haiku II 01:03:11 Seven Haiku III 01:03:34 Seven Haiku IV 01:03:50 Seven Haiku V 01:04:14 Seven Haiku vi 01:04:32 Seven Haiku viI 01:04:52 For M.C. and D.T. 01:05:40 Waiting 01:09:21 Socrate (1918) Drame symphonique en trois parties Transcription for two pianos by Cage (1944–1968): I Portrait de Socrate (Le Banquet) 01:15:47 Socrate (1918) Drame symphonique en trois parties Transcription for two pianos by Cage (1944–1968): II Bords de l'Iliussus (Phèdre) 01:22:39 Socrate (1918) Drame symphonique en trois parties Transcription for two pianos by Cage (1944–1968): III Morte de Socrate (Phédon) 01:38:23 Cheap imitation (1969) I 01:44:26 Cheap imitation (1969) II 01:53:28 Cheap imitation (1969) III 02:09:39 Etudes Boreales I (Piano) 02:15:13 Etudes Boreales II (Piano) 02:20:44 Etudes Boreales III (Piano) 02:26:22 Etudes Boreales IV (Piano) 02:32:04 Etudes Boreales I (cello) 02:37:32 Etudes Boreales II (cello) 02:43:12 Etudes Boreales III (cello) 02:48:41 Etudes Boreales IV (cello) 02:54:22 Etudes Boreales I (cello & Piano) 03:00:07 Etudes Boreales II (cello & Piano) 03:05:51 Etudes Boreales III (cello & Piano) 03:11:30 Etudes Boreales IV (cello & Piano)

John Cage "Water walk"
John Cage performing "Water Walk" in January, 1960 on the popular TV show I've Got A Secret. "At the time, Cage was teaching Experimental Composition at New York City's New School. Eight years beyond 4:33, he was (as our smoking MC informs us) the most controversial figure in the musical world at that time. His first performance on national television was originally scored to include five radios, but a union dispute on the CBS set prevented any of the radios from being plugged in to the wall. Cage gleefully smacks and tosses the radios instead of turning them on and off. While treating Cage as something of a freak, the show also treats him fairly reverentially, cancelling the regular game show format to allow Cage the chance to perform his entire piece. "

John Cage: Music of Changes (1951)
______________John Cage 100 (1912-2012)__________ John Cage (1912-1992): Music of Changes, for piano (1951). Dedicato a David Tudor. Book I (New York, May 16, 1951) Book II (New York, August 2, 1951) (start at 4'04'') Book III (New York, October 18, 1951) (start at 22'48'') Book IV (New York, December 13, 1951) (start at 33'27'') David Tudor, pianoforte. The title Music of Changes refers to several different meanings. One of them is the Chinese oracle book I Ching, the Book of Changes. Another, more personal reference is the change in Cage's compositional language. Cage composed the music using I Ching chance operations, in order to create differrent charts for various parameters in the music: tempi, dynamics, sounds and silences, durations and superimpositions. With these charts he created a composition, using a conventional manner of notation with staves and bars, where everything is notated in full detail. The piano is played, not only by using the keys, but also by plucking the strings with finger nails, slamming the keyboard lid, playing cymbal beaters on the strings, striking the keyboard lid etc. Pedalling is also notated in full detail. The notation is proportional, where 1 inch equals a quarter note. The rhythmic structure is 3-5-6¾-6¾-5-31/8 and is expressed in changing tempi, including the use of accellerandos and ritards. This work may be seen as the first result of Cage's voyage into the world of composing by chance. For Cage this was a necessary step, in order to give up individual taste and memory and also the traditions in art. This development came as a result of his studies with Gita Sarabhai (Indian philosophy) and Daisetz T. Suzuki (Zen Buddhism) in the late fourties and early fifties. Chance here, is part of the moment of composition though. The actual result and the performance of it are completely determined, something Cage was to give up soon in his later compositions.

A Year With John Cage - How To Get Out Of The Cage (Documentary, 2012)
With German and French subtitles. This compelling documentary, seen through the lens of award-winning filmmaker Frank Scheffer, presents an intimate portrait of one of the 20th century's most important composers and creative minds at work. From 1982 to 1992, Frank Scheffer worked with John Cage on numerous occasions, which resulted in a unique archive of historical audio-visual material. Based on this unique archive, including interviews, musical performances, and images of different locations related to Cage's life and work - filmed in 16mm - filmmaker Frank Scheffer created "How to get out of the Cage - A Year with John Cage". In all of Scheffer’s works related to John Cage he uses the old Chinese method of chance operations based on the I Ching – as often used by John Cage himself in his compositions. For this new documentary he decided for another approach: Instead of using chance operations he edited the film in the usual way that is based on choice. “I wanted the documentary to be informative and appealing to a bigger audience”, so Scheffer. The structure of this documentary is based on different chapters: 2:10 § One – Nachtcagetag 24 Hours of the Music of John Cage Cologne, Germany February 14–15, 1987 11:03 § Two – Roaratorio An Irish circus based on Finnegan’s Wake by James Joyce Royal Albert Hall, London, England July 18, 1987 20:32 § Three – Los Angeles Festival Los Angeles, CA, USA September 3–27, 1987 36:41 § Four – New York, NY, USA October 3–7, 1987 47:04 § Five – Europera’s I & II Frankfurt, Germany November 12 & December 11, 1987 "The famous artist Marina Abramovic introduced me to John Cage. She thought it would be worthwhile for me to get in tough with him and right she was! In June 1982, I did an hour-long interview with him without knowing how influential he was. He loved the fact that it was an interview without preconceptions. It dramatically changed my way of thinking. He had opened my mind!" - Frank Scheffer Buy the DVD here: http://amzn.to/2rA1C5j Subscribe: https://goo.gl/jrui3M

John Cage (1912-1992): In a landscape, for piano (1948). Margaret Leng Tan, pianoforte. Cover image: painting by Blinky Palermo. The rhythmic structure is 15 x 15 measures (5-7-3), following the structure of the dance for which it was written. The piece is similar to Dream, but the fixed gamut of tones is more extensive. Resonances are sustained throughout the composition, by using both pedals. The sound of the composition is very soft and meditative, reminding of the music of Erik Satie.

John Cage - Music for Marcel Duchamp

John Cage - Music for Marcel Duchamp

John Cage - Music for Marcel Duchamp
Music for Marcel Duchamp, for prepared piano (1947) Boris Berman, piano This hypnotic, mysterious little piece, of approximately 5 minutes duration, was originally written for the sequence with Marcel Duchamp in Hans Richter's movie "Dreams That Money Can Buy". The piano is prepared with bits of rubber and weather stripping and one small bolt precisely placed to emphasize string harmonics that make the piano sound like an obscure village ensemble. The rhythmic structure is 11 x 11 (extended), phrased 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1. There are two distinct melodic ideas assigned to different sets of pitches in the first two pages of the piece - the first idea is an obsessive generation of variations on 3 close pitches (E-flat, D-flat, B-flat) that have a minor key sing-song quality that is appealing in a direct, folk song manner. The note A-natural is shared with the above 3 notes and the lower 3 notes of the other melodic idea (F, E, D-natural) which also has a minor key feeling. This idea is slower with trills and other figurations and has a sustained, intoning quality. The two ideas and pitch ranges become combined and generate an odd major-minor modality (like a country blues scale). The high tone with the bolt preparation rings out from time to time like a small light illuminating the subdued mystery. Both the soft pedal and the sustaining pedals are kept down for the entire duration of the piece which further modifies the overtone timbre. Following the first melodic section, there is a contrasting time-marking, pulsing pattern like an obsessive meditation, marked "static". This followed by a melody on the lower notes, until another "static" holding pattern begins, this time on a low then high dissonant reiteration. All activity ceases and we only hear the resonate remains. The next section is a lovely "Legatissimo Dolcissimo" (Very connected and very sweetly) section, with a gradually ascending motif that is played in many variations, and a brief repetition of the "static" notes but played melodically. At the end, the sustained sound is held until it has completely ceased. [allmusic.com] Art by Luis Enrique Camejo

Chance Conversations: An Interview with Merce Cunningham and John Cage

Chance Conversations: An Interview with Merce Cunningham and John Cage
In the spring of 1981, during a residency at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, choreographer Merce Cunningham and composer John Cage sat down to discuss their work and artistic process. As frequent collaborators, Cage and Cunningham pioneered a new framework of performance. Their novel approach allowed for mediums to exist independently, or rather cohabitate, within a performance, thus abandoning the co-dependent model of dance and music. Cage and Cunningham go on to discuss the methodology and motivations behind chance operations, a term used to describe artistic decisions based on unpredictability. Wanting to free himself of his likes and dislikes, Cage describes how Zen Buddhism influenced his work, leading him to use tools of chance. These new methods, adopted by both Cunningham and Cage, overturned a whole foundation of thought around music, movement, and the process of creating art.

Famous quotes by John Cage:

"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones."

"There is poetry as soon as we realize that we possess nothing."

"We carry our homes within us which enables us to fly."

"The grand thing about the human mind is that it can turn its own tables and see meaninglessness as ultimate meaning"

"If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."

"If someone says 'can't,' that shows you what to do"

"Food, one assumes, provides nourishment: but Americans eat it fully aware that small amounts of poison have been added to improve its appearance and delay its putrefaction"

"Music is a means of Rapid Transportation"

"I have nothing to say And I am saying it And that is poetry"

"The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason."

"The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation."

"It's useless to play lullabies for those who cannot sleep."

"It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of "culture.""

"We are involved in a life that passes understanding and our highest business is our daily life."

"Ideas are one thing and what happens is another."

"I have nothing to say, I am saying it, and that is poetry."

"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."

"We need not destroy the past. It is gone."

"When we separate music from life we get art."
