more research about John Cage's 4 "33". From what I found, the composition does not mean what I thought it said. The performer is not sitting in silence at the piano but is listening to the sounds of the audience and other surrounding noises. John Cage wants people to know that there is no such thing as being in "silence" you can take pleasure in all the sounds around…
In the middle to late 1900’s Phil Spector was an American producer, musician, and songwriter whose popularity spiked to the top after developing the Wall Of Sound also called Spector’s Sound. Withstanding establishment of the common stereo and preferring to have various instruments combined in a single monaural track, Spector composed this technique at the Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles. Conforming relatively facile equalizations aided in his popularity because his approach was crucial to…
John Cage was an incredibly impactful and controversial American composer of the 20th century. He was the forerunner for the avant-garde, significantly developing nonstandard styles of music such as electroacoustic music and aleatoric music (chance-controlled). His musical developments were largely influenced by Indian philosophies like Buddhism, and his internal anarchy was influenced by Henry David Thoreau. This and his works with modern dance, helped to distinguish him as a very pivotal…
John Cage an Influential Minimalist John Cage is the epitome of a cutting edge composer due to the fact that he has an elevated appreciation for music, unmatched by any other. Cage enjoys everyday, naturally occurring sounds because of their dynamics and their lengths, rather than the sounds constrained by musical instruments, something other composers usually overlook. This gives him the advantage to compose music in a unique manner. Cage has had an impact not only on musicians, but dancers and…
Cage-free or not The Huffington Post article “McDonald’s Plans To Switch To Cage-Free Eggs” addresses McDonald’s plans to complete the transition to cage-free eggs in the U.S. and Canada by 2025.1 The article not only raises concern about cage-free eggs, but also discusses whether hens should be bred in the cage-free system or in the conventional battery cage system. In this essay, I will discuss the cage-free system in two aspects. On one hand, it is morally right to switch to the…
until now, Luke Cage avoided feeling too similar to many other superhero stories that can’t resist showing us a character’s history right away. Had it waited any longer, it could have run the risk of putting too much distance between the audience and the action happening in present day. Since nothing too epic has happened yet – ok, the explosion, but we all knew Luke would survive – this completely avoids that concern. In fact, the excitement of seeing Luke Cage become Luke Cage, actually…
On 7/25/16 I met Mr. Kabel at the office of Dr. Beird. The office was filled to capacity and the wait was extended. Mr. Kabel reports that the right hand is better. The left hand is still painful. Examination showed that the left hand was still a bit behind the right. The right hand repair was done 2 weeks prior to the left hand. Dr. Beird feels he will be able to get back to work in the next few weeks with restrictions. He will not be able to use a jackhammer though. I updated the employer…
Nadia’s Videos are highly based off of those people that need our help in the world. Anything from rising from addiction, hunger, or human trafficking. The song talks about the same concept of Heroes tonight and that you don’t have to have a cape to be a hero to someone. All you need to do is to be there when they need your help. Love is a complex thing in the 21st century because our…
conscious efforts. If any logic or reflection comes between brush and paper, the whole effect is spoiled. While influenced by Suzuki, Cage does differ slightly. In the above passage, John Cage would learn to remove the “as if” phrase in his personal philosophies on music. Through use of chance methods and indeterminate music, essentially John Cage removes himself completely from the music. He allows the performer to create the music themselves. He is not simply letting the brush be guided AS IF…
Matthew 1246 “Ahhhhhhhhh!” cried Carl viciously. “You putrid scum,” the guard yelled just enough for Carl to hear. He had jumped in front of Doc and pulled the level 5. Flashback 1 year and 16 days. Carl has been taken into the prison cell. This is his new life. “You are innocent. You have done nothing wrong. Just remember who you are. You are, Carl Lucas.” He is just too overwhelmed to know, to comprehend how to get out of this situation. It was time for his therapy session now. “This is…
