Score:
The idea behind my score was to assign certain people on my floor random sounds. Then secretly document their movement in and out of the lounge. Over a two hour time period, nine different people spent time in our floor lounge. Each of them represents a different line. If they came into the lounge stayed for a bit and left, that created on sound. Most of them came in multiple times which lead to the repetition of sounds. In my score, one segment represents 5 seconds in the musical composition which actually represents 5 minutes in real time. It can be read from left to right while listening to the composition.
John Cage Article Response:
John Cage and experimental composers expanded the conventional idea of music to include various types of sounds and performances. Being that music is an artform, all types of music is worth making. It allows the individual artist time to express their feelings and ideas in an explorative manner. Whether or not we enjoy their work is not essential, but we should appreciate it. Like paintings and scupltures, music can erupt controversy but that is the beauty in expression.
