but contrivance is sort of at the heart of performance, innit? i think that's precisely why it's so effective in that setting... what, for you, would be a better way of exploring the issue? and also, was 4'33 the lone piece you saw from mr. cage at that performance? |

It was the only cage, but it was all 20th century american music, so I heard all sorts of similar elements. I think you've hit the heart of the problem for me--I don't like anything contrived in performances. I generally don't like performing and performances, though I'll like them if the performer is absolutely incredible.. in which case I like it when their physical expression is quite slight, and the point is the music. The reason why in this case I will prefer it to listening alone at home is tricky because I'd usually rather hear it at home.. but if I've motivated myself to go I'm just wanting a change of setting and also the whole holy-shit-oh-ny-god bit you get from seeing a great performance live (by great performance I don't mean a great showman, I mean great music and great skill). Note that the only performance I'll go to is classical music. I'd see aphex though. |

It's pretty good. I'll probably buy the regular priced vinyl when that comes out. |

it gives me the horn for excellent electronic music once more. 9.2 out of 10 after about ten listens or so. |
