John Cage "Water walk"

Музыка

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. "

    My music teacher told me when he was in college in the 70s at Texas tech John Cage gave a performance and the bread teacher was so offended he grabbed his trumpet and interrupted the performance blasting "anything you can do I can do better" and John Cage's reaction was to start clapping and shouting bravo to the professor

    Not hardly. Any instrument was designed to produce the same effect. The only difference here is the result is simply pedestrian jibberish. Ever heard of a glass harp? A violin? A piano. Any instrument performs the same task as here, but combined with a composer and creativity, actual music gets produced. I'm not denying this can't be defined as music, but it looks more like opportunism and marketing to me. A mosquito hum can be considered music as well. Also a fart. I give this performance 5 farts

    I had the honour of meeting John Cage at Darmstadt. He was a brilliant thinker and creative artist, pure genius. He had figured out how to cure his rheumatoid arthritis very easily with a specialized macrobiotic diet and avoidance of nightshade foods in the 1970s, he told me all about it. (Take that you medical people could also learn from Cage, plus he was a fascinating mushroom expert.) Completely brilliant composer, a world great, inspirational gifts and talent. Learn from Cage, and examine indeterminacy, it is a very powerful compositional tool celebrating freedom. How lucky we are to have had great thinkers and inventors in music like Cage.

    The objects he used were things people use in their everyday lives- I think this is a reflection of how chaotic our lives, and even our minds can get, when we're handling too many things at once. Most of the sounds were abrupt and reflect a darker tone, and so I think this enhances the negative effects of too much noise on our lives.

    One of the very essences of Cage's work is that nobody truly has the reverence or position to define music and sound, and to differentiate the two. Cage experimented with sounds that had never been traditionally used in music composition and opened it out to it's performative equivalents. He wrote more traditional compositions with pianos and small orchestras, but he worked with them as tools rather than instruments and very much revelled in modernist ideas of sound. In this he's essentially asking us as well as the audience of the game show to listen to the sound and to consider the possibility that what we are hearing could be music and you'd be surprised how much this kind of thing is now used in modern techniques. He famously said that there is no such thing as silence, and sound is like actors; minds of it's own and charisma. Intellectual yes and something non conformist or traditional, but has immense importance in the sound world.

    You can feel a lot of action and like something is happening and taking place, while the performance is not entirely musical, it feels interesting and like it's a statement in life that we shouldn't take our daily tasks too seriously.. I believe that we have a life call and mission that we need to do, and this piece adds to it the notion that we need to feel like we're playing while on our way there.

    Well the host clearly prefaced that the artist takes it seriously but that the audience may laugh should they feel compelled to do so. Ideally, just as there are no actual rules as to what defines music, so there are no rules on how music should be consumed. One person may find the piece humorous while another may find him/herself in deep thought. Simply whatever.

    I find this one really cool--Like, of course he enjoys performing here. But what is so cool is if one puts on headphones and also closes one's eyes, only hearing the sounds, it can sound like what might be heard walking around a busy docking area, with lots of loading/unloading boats, mechanized processes, work commotion; the clanging and thuds, splashing sounds and wildlife such as gulls and whatnot.
