Local groups interpret controversial American composer

By Steve Jansen

The Art of Noise

If you’ve ever dismissed John Cage’s 4’33’’ white-noise study as the musical equivalent of “my 5-year-old can do that,” then you’re just jealous that you didn’t think of it first. It was all part of Cage’s brilliance in composing his “process pieces” during the 1950s and 1960s. The chance-taking style was influenced by the classic Chinese text I Ching and featured instruments such as piano, tin cans, and phonograph.

At 7:30 p.m. Saturday, November 7, Crossing 32nd Street and members of the Glendale Community College Percussion Ensemble perform some of these works at the Phoenix Urban Research Laboratory (PURL).
