Greetings RMCC,
I have an article on my webiste that might be of interest to the list members here that I hope you enjoy:
JOHN CAGE
His Common Aesthetic Thread by Julio Cann
<
http://www.furious.com/perfect/johncage.html>
"In order to begin to understand this genius polymath, one of the most influential figures of 20th century avant-garde, it is perhaps most useful to approach his work not in chronological order, which would only serve to elucidate his penchant for constant reinvention, but instead to delve into it as he did: from all directions simultaneously, and to try to find - or at least experience - the common aesthetic thread running through all of it. Therefore, in Cagean
spirit, the following is a series of aleatoric impressions of the ideas and music of John Cage."
See you online,
Jason
