The Relationship Between Contemporary Art and Independent Music

2009-08-07T20:17:00.000-07:00

"New York City's most revered art collective centered around a man named Andy Warhol," the art and independent music scenes are appropriately inbred and infinitely mutualistic each survives longer because of the other. the cultural circumstances that allow this relationship endure are based in the demolition of boundaries, but also in the necessity of cooperation. -------to be continued.

It was early August and the air was warm, tending towards moist. I stood inside of Washington Square Park deciding which direction to walk. I noticed two wrinkled faces peering at me from behind the tree. These faces, equally impassive, were just there stationed right behind. These were my parents.

what a musician can do...?!

2007-03-22T22:56:00.000-07:00

what a designer can do to be involved in a exhibition of an artist at a museum may include by designing brochures and posters to advertise the exhibition, designing the layout of the exhibirts the way it visually guides the viewers, or by making a catalog of the work that helps the viewers remember the exhibition........................................... what a musician can do...?! tell me..? :D

John Cage, the American experimental music composer and writer, is renowned for his composition 4'33" whose three movements are performed without playing a single note. Cage, whose conception of silence and openness to all sounds was liberating. And he criticizes indeterminate compositions-such as his own "Music of Changes" (1951) is composed by the tossing of coins-thatare indeterminate with respect to composition but determinate with respect to performance. Being indeterminate brings about the possibility of a unique form. Then any composition allows more freedom to the performer than to the composer. Cage favors a radical indeterminacy: compositions that are indeterminate with respect to their performance. There are certain practical matters to discuss that concern the performance of music the composition of which is indeterminate with respect to it's performance. Avant-garde Jazz, Free improvisation, these matters concern the physical space and spirituality of the performance. I want to concentrate on both the visual and the experimental music elements and put them together, I want to do more free improvisation... I want performers to be free to play.
