The Cambridge Companion to John Cage By David Nicholls screenshot
2002 | 287 Pages | ISBN: 0521789680 | EPUB | 3 MB
American composer John Cage (1912-1992) was without doubt one of the most important and influential figures in twentieth-century music. He spent much of his career in pursuit of an unusual goal--"giving up control so that sounds can be sounds", as he put it. As well as composing around 300 works, he was also a prolific performer, writer, poet, and visual artist. This Companion celebrates the richness and diversity of Cage's achievements and provides readers with a fully rounded portrait of a fascinating figure.

Great share. I've read Silence (his lectures and writings) and Begin Again (a biography) and each really deepened my appreciation for Cage. This (a collection of essays on Cage's work) couldn't complement them better. Caricatures don't do him justice-- his ideas are profound, uncommon syntheses of avant gardism of all types, philosophy, buddhism, chance, anally mapped out and controlled systems (often designed to be received as non-systematic-- there are paradoxes and contradictions all over his work but that's sorta the point and beside the point.

And just as important as the ideas is the music. He made all kinds of music. Some of it isn't very interesting to listen to (imo), but the majority of it is just wonderful. He did everything from noise music (in the 1930s!) to prepared piano, to the most peculiar and wilted chamber music and solo strings, to giant & cacophonous surround\loudspepaker orchestral tape music, to deeply buddhist experiments in aleatory. It's both difficult music and the easiest thing in the world to listen to, once you get your head 'round.

Check him out! (if anyone happens to even see this, lol)
