John Cage Response

John Cage provides many different analyses under the subject of music. Music is composed of harmonious structured sounds, rhythms and orchestrated rest notes. Cage discusses that this does not always entail traditional instruments like the woodwinds and brass sections we would see in a band. It encompasses the everyday sounds around us from city noises to common house products. There are many musicians and other artists who have found creative ways to display these ideas in their work. For example, there is a group of musicians who call themselves Stomp who demonstrate some of these ideas well.
