(This course is being offered on line in September 1999.) John Cage quotations "I have nothing to say / and I am saying it / and that is poetry / as I needed it" John Cage "It was at Harvard not quite forty years ago that I went into an anechoic [totally silent] chamber not expecting in that silent room to hear two sounds: one high, my nervous system in operation, one low, my blood in circulation. The reason I did not expect to hear those two sounds was that they were set into vibration without any intention on my part. That experience gave my life direction, the exploration of nonintention. No one else was doing that. I would do it for us. I did not know immediately what I was doing, nor, after all these years, have I found out much. I compose music. Yes, but how? I gave up making choices. In their place I put the asking of questions. The answers come from the mechanism, not the wisdom of the I Ching, the most ancient of all books: tossing three coins six times yielding numbers between 1 and 64." John Cage, 1990 "I certainly had no feeling for harmony, and Schoenberg thought that that would make it impossible for me to write music. He said, 'You'll come to a wall you won't be able to get through.' So I said, 'I'll beat my head against that wall.' " John Cage

The Sounds of Silence John Cage and 4'33" ABSTRACT: The purpose of this essay is to examine the aesthetic behind Cage's "silent" composition, 4'33", to trace its history, and to show that it marked a significant change in John Cage's musical thought specifically how it forms a point-of-no-return from the conventional communicative, self-expressive and intentional purpose of music to a radical new aesthetic that informs the field of unintentional sound, interpenetration, chance, and indeterminacy. The compositional process is described, both the writing of 4'33" and its evolution from past thought. Implications for performance are examined, and recommendations are made.

30. Poetic Cities As Cyberspaces Article by Marjorie Perloff. http://128.205.200.100/epc/authors/perloff/cyber.html

back to Marjorie Perloff's homepage (for Festschrift for OB Hardison , Delaware University Press) In Chapter 5 ("Lotus Eaters") of Ulysses , Leopold Bloom sets out from home to begin his circuitous voyage through Dublin. We read: Here is a classic Modernist treatment of the city. At one level, Joyce's fictional mode is one of scrupulous documentary realism: we know exactly where Bloom walks and what shops and buildings he passes; these are, moreover, actual But Joyceand this is again characteristic of Modernismuses his Symbolist urban setting as a stimulus that prompts Bloom's very private stream of consciousness. "Tell him if he smokes he won't grow," he thinks watching the boy with his "chewed fagbutt," and then, being a non-judgmental, kindly type, he thinks better of this reprimand: "O let him! His life isn't such a bed of roses! Waiting outside pubs to bring da home. Come home to ma, da." And that thought, in turn, foreshadows the image of young Dingham's memory of his "da" in the Hades chapter. Toward the end of the paragraph, linguistic play begins to take over. "Met her once in the park. In the dark. What a lark." And then, thinking of Corny Kelleher, the undertaker, Bloom declares playfully: "Bury him cheap in a whatyoumaycall. With my tooraloom, tooraloom, tooraloom, tooraloom." Joyce's Dublin, Eliot's London, Proust's Paris, Thomas Mann's Venice these modernist cities are revealed to us through their architecture. Their materiality is palpable, the settings being startlingly real if not surreal (e.g. Eliot's "A crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many/ I had not thought death had undone so many...."), their value is complexly symbolic (Dublin as image of urban paralysis and loneliness, Proust's Paris as locus of class conflict and social climbing, Mann's Venice as the exotic Other); they elicit a new language which is polyglot, sophisticated, intricateand determined to Make It New. In architectural terms, the Modernist city is the

I n 1952, David Tudor sat down in front of a piano for four minutes and thirty-three seconds and did nothing. The piece 4'33'' written by John Cage, is possibly the most famous and imortant piece in twentieth century avant-garde. 4'33'' was a distillation of years of working with found sound, noise, and alternative instruments. In one short piece, Cage broke from the history of classical composition and proposed that the primary act of musical performance was not making music, but listening. Merce Cunningham and the painter Robert Rauschenberg A bit of Zen philosophy from John Cage. Black Mountain College , Cage began to create sound for performances and to investigate the ways music composed through chance procedures could become something beautiful. Many of Cage's ideas about what music could be were inspired by Marcel Duchamp , who revolutionized twentieth-century art by presenting everyday, unadulterated objects in museum settings as finished works of art, which were called "found art," or ready-mades by later scholars. Like Duchamp, Cage found music around him and did not necessarily rely on expressing something from within. Black Mountain College Merce Cunningham Buckminster Fuller ... Resource Page

About Andrew Culver Tensegity Sound Source # 5 Andrew Culver is the composer of Ocean 1-95 the orchestral component of Ocean , Merce Cunningham's masterpiece of contemporary dance. Presented at the inaugural Lincoln Center Festival 96, the New York Times called Ocean "beautiful by any definition", and the San Francisco Examiner "a luminous landmark . . . an epic abstraction of manifold and incomparable beauties". Ocean 's electronic music is by David Tudor, the lighting and costumes are by Marsha Skinner, and the concept and plan by John Cage and Merce Cunningham, their final collaboration. Culver's music, scored for 112 instrumental soloists in the round, and lasting 90 minutes, consists of 32,067 events spread over 95 compositions in five continuously overlapping layers. Of the music, the New York Times noted that it possessed "the calm of the deep", and that the composer possessed "the same sense of fun [as John Cage]". Culver is the composer of over 60 works in varied media, including microtonality (

CLICK HERE for Books about this composer. CLICK HERE for Sheet Music by this composer. Major Works: Opera: Europera I/II Ballet: The Seasons Orchestral, percussion, electronic, and chamber music Other Information: John Cage was born on 5 September 1912 in Los Angeles. His father was an inventor, and his mother was a founder of Lincoln Study Clubs in Detroit and Los Angeles. After graduating from high school, John Cage attended Pomona College but dropped it after two years. Wanting to become a writer, he went to Europe (Paris, Berlin and Madrid) and studied music, art and architecture. After returning to States in 1933, he met Henry Cowell and attended his classes on contemporary music. At Cowell's suggestion he went to study with Arnold Schoenberg (Schoenberg agreed to teach him free of charge). But the two of them separated rather quickly (in 1935) because of their arguments about harmony. Cage's early pieces were devoted mainly to percussion instruments. Works were based around rhythmic patterns and were more oriented to Eastern that to Western music. Perhaps, the most important works from this period are
