REPETITION IS THE SPICE OF LIFE

yes!!!! :


so awesome:


reminds me of THIS, loved this idea when i read the interview:
"We first made it only ten and then we had to add “seats.” But because every audience member is led into the room one-by-one, the last one has to wait twenty minutes or something outside, so it just became more and more unfair and unbearable."
love that idea of drawn out waiting.

"If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."
--J. Cage

so into this!
Cage’s notation provides for the cardboard boxes to be tapped on various points on their surfaces. There is but a limited variety in the quality of sounds. Like the sound of raindrops, like the repeated (conducted) phrases, there is constant, subtle variation – always the same, always different. As well as referring back to Cage’s studies with Schoenberg, particularly Schoenberg’s observation that music is variation, and variation is but repetition with some elements changed, this constant repetition/variation looks forward to the obsessive repetitions of the late works.
