John Cage

I found the video "oneII " 103 to be terribly boring with the exception of the two uncontrolled human coughs in the background. I do not share Cage's spiritual conquest for the "emptying out of" self or humanity. Contrary to Cage, I am bound to character and narrative. The film disappointed my expectations. I rather enjoyed "433", an experimental piano concert conducted in Harvard Yard. It was the audience's hostile reactions.

The documentary is a bit more interesting.
