Exploring the line between music and noise
Back in the year 1960, a curious event unfolded on national television that left viewers both puzzled and intrigued. This was the work of an American composer named John Cage. Unlike traditional composers who used familiar musical instruments, Cage was surrounded by an assortment of everyday objects. Among the curious items were a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a pressure cooker, a rubber duck, and a collection of radios. Armed with these unconventional tools and armed with nothing but a stopwatch, Cage performed what he titled "Water Walk." The result was a symphony of unexpected sounds, delivered with utmost seriousness and precision. Some viewers found this performance to be uproariously funny, while others dismissed it as utterly absurd. However, a common question lingered in the minds of those who witnessed it: Could this be considered music at all? The answer, as it turns out, is not as straightforward as it might seem.

Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 9 months ago in BeatFrom a Small Town...
I have spent too much time looking at my guitars over the past year. Jeff Beck passed away and I gave my Fender Stratocaster a workout. David Crosby passed and I had my acoustic ready and going through my fingers with my memories and skills. And then, after a day where I planned lessons, had online interviews for online material in my courses, found myself returning to a festival to celebrate its final day as a volunteer, I looked at my cellphone.
