September Hofmann | 4'33" - Line Rider (HEADPHONES MAX VOLUME) @Ava_Hofmann | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 19 minutes ago
Song is 4'33 by John Cage.
Performance by William Marx: youtube.com/watch?v=JTEFKFiXSx4
Scenery based on various (and very different) editions of the 4'33" score.
Please listen with headphones at max volume. The joke is funnier that way
And, yes, this is a joke, but also, like, a serious legit thing. Doing a track of 4'33" reveals the point that John Cage was trying to make with the piece: that the sounds all around us have all the dynamism, tonality, and rhythmic complexity of any 'standard' form of music. Line Rider is able to visually surface this dynamic by syncing bosh's movements just as if one were syncing more standard music, thereby visualizing Cage's philosophy about chance procedures in music.
ALSO IT'S FUNNY
