#Jamuary2023: Day 32 - 4'33

4′33 is a musical piece by John Cage, famed for his works on the prepared piano, wherein a musician sets up to perform, and plays nothing for exactly four minutes and thirty-three seconds.

The point of the piece is not that silence is music, but rather that the sounds of the environment are made to be a part of the music in the act of performing this piece. While it’s controversial and often joked about, the piece is meant to spark a conversation about what makes music be music, and lays down an argument for intentionality above all else being the thing that makes something a musical piece. It also brings attention to the sounds of one’s environment in the performance of the piece, since that’s all the sound there is while the piece is being performed.

While most people might not take this piece seriously, I decided to take it 100% seriously at it’s stated value, and the resulting exercise was an interesting one.

Thanks for coming along for the ride this Jamuary!

Jamuary 31: They're all good horses, Brent*

Downloaded some new free stuff, did more Minilogue knob tweaking, did some overindulgent acoustic guitar delay, kept some constants like the Farfisa and some Pram-adjacent malletous instrument from a new softsynth.

End of month. Learned a ton. More to come.

*Two things. One, I always remembered the original as "they're all good dogs, Brent" and that's wrong, there's no all in the original. Two, the day that tweet went viral, I swear there was another viral thread or something about somebody's lab partner or classmate or coworker or something getting their name wrong all day like Brent/Brant/Bront, and that made the joke a thousand times funnier, but that detail seems lost to time. Anyone? Anyone else remember this?

This one was also thrown together in a hurry, but it still came out as something pretty fun I think.
