The big poisonous elephant mushroom in the rheum that’s often overlooked tho
is that Cage seemed more devoted to the I-Ching and the number 64 than to the
ideas of pure chance in the most basic way of procedures. Yes, he made the jump
from coin tossing to computer printouts (making his work faster, but taking away
the delightful immediacy of results), but any element outside of “64” and I-Ching
was dismissed. For me tho, the change from a pseudo-random number algorithm
to a maximally unpredictable (as well as flexible) way of creating randomness was
an immense game-changer in my approach to the randomization of all elements.
