Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 0'00" is a joke...

Sorry, I accidentally sent this only to wonderful Vitor:

With all due respect to Vitor, I would call 0'00" a composition. It's not
conventionally musical, but its instructions (to perform a disciplined
action at the highest level of amplification before feedback occurs) ensure
that the piece is about the sounds produced.

The concept of organized sound, for Cage, largely disappears once Cage
embraces chance operations. For at this point, any continuity (read:
organization) becomes acceptable *(Lecture on Something*).

Sorry I can't write more on this at the moment.

Best,
Rob
