I'm waiting for someone to tell me this is a joke...I'm still waiting

This reminds me that music isn't about just playing notes or a song, it's also about playing silence. I love this piece of music.

Anything can be considered art. Besides, we are always surrounded by music, maybe you are not listening hard enough or you do not have any imagination, but this is art. Music does not have to be intentional sound.

Let's get one thing straight... art requires skill, work, and knowledge. Cage failed as a student, couldn't play an instrument, and as Schoenberg said had "no ear for Harmony". He possesed none of these. The original idea was interesting, but it does NOT deserve to be placed on a pedastal. I would like to know on what basis you are claiming that this is art.

too true

Drag0nz661 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

then you should realize that this is art

I'm not ignorant to art, and I sure as hell understand music. But this, this is bullshit. Sheet music to nothing. It's pathetic.

I hope he doesn't try an sell a CD or an MP3 of this. I wonder if anyone would be stupid enough to buy it.
