Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Rod Stasick <>]

The more I think about that method, 
the more uncomfortable it makes me 
feel because of its sheer manipulative 
aspects while not leaving the elements 
to fall where they would naturally, 
mathematically fall. Maybe it’s my 
Bourbaki leanings.

Absolutely.  According to wikipedia 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_as_Possible#Halberstadt_performance), 
the first note (actually a rest) occurred on Cage’s birthday in 2001.  
Looking at the sound changes, they all take place on the 5th day of a varying 
month, so it is inevitable that some of the events will occur in September, 
on his birthday.
