It showed how John Cage prepared pianos, and what he found worked and didn’t, mainly due to the stability of the items added to the strings. Cardew’s work with ‘The Scratch Band’ was also interesting and some of the innovation’s they came up with. They also showed an orchestra of varying ability playing works from the established repertoire, but with notes played incorrectly and out of sequence, thus producing a barely recognizable reproduction of familiar works.
Perhaps most interesting in the field of chance music was a waltz composed by the throw of dice based on a system proposed by Mozart, where numbers related to short motifs of music. They played the short piece at the end, thus creating a work of chance in part created by one of the most brilliant musical minds that ever lived, nearly 200 years before indeterminacy.

Slavoj Zizek and Jordan Peterson debate on the concept of Happiness: Capitalism vs Marxism. The event was billed as “the debate of the century”, “The Rumble in the Realm of the Mind”, and it did have the feel of a heavyweight boxing match: Jordan Peterson, local boy, against the slapdash Slovenian Slavoj Žižek in Toronto.
