...and if you think you can walk around saying what's art and what isn't, you're a misguided pseudo-intellectual.

Not all works you try to make art become art.

Says who? Who has this ultimate guidebook regarding what is art and what isn't?

I always think abstract music is different from abstract paintings because they are nice to look at. I'm on the edge about John Cage as a composer, I respect his music, but I'm not sure if I consider him good or not.

john sayed the music is just noise (or something like that) the music is a way of art, the art is how the artist express himself, tray to understand his ideas troug his "noise" and you will see what's he is talking about

yes I agree with you. there are cool works like this and the sonatas and interludes (actually they remind me a little bit of stravinsky). but if you 'listen' to the variations III, you realize that they are just a silly modern-conceptual performance

tracerprod your videos are a joy! I've watched most of your work now, and your videos suit the music very well. Let's stop arguing about the relative worth of modern composers and just enjoy the music and video. A big thumbs up to tracerprod! ;)

To some Cage's compositions are distasteful, to others, brilliance. No matter what your opinion is, his compositions are not poor. You may think that he has just put a nail on strings of the piano, however, his prepared piano can be closely related to Indonesian Gamelan music. Not only does Cage think about timbre and tone, but his structuring of his compositions are so intelligent, which often baffles people. To think that Cage is a poor composer is ignorant.

Cages compositions to some are poor, to others, interesting. his compositions are structured really cleverly, making him a good composer. He is not just a 'good composer' because of what you said: "put some nail on the harp of a piano and to repeat the same simple bar again and agian" he's good because he thinks about timbre and tone. Some of his pieces for prepared piano can be related to Indonesian Gamelan music for example. John Cage isn't a poor composer, to think that is ignorant.

if you are really tone deaf what are you hearing?
