lowercase music?

I just saw this link on Wired. Anyone here have any of this lowercase music stuff on their empegs? Even heard of it before?

Haven't heard of it, but TechTV seems to keep interviewing people who use ProTools. I might have to check it out.

LOL I was reading that yesterday too. What a joke.

"Did you hear that?"

"No..."

"I wrote that."

That reminds me of that song a few years ago about a band that didn't write or a record a song, and the song they didn't write or record became a hit.

Ironcally, I can't remember then name of the band that wrote the song about the band that didn't write that nonexistant song.

"One O'Clock and it's time for lunch, lum de duhm de duhm..."

This is SOOOOOOO awsome, now if I could only remember where did I put those bodily function samples I made last year????

This reminds me of John Cage and other experimental musicians.

Anybody ever "heard" 4:33 by John Cage? If you haven't, it's basically him sitting at the piano for 4 minutes and 33 seconds doing nothing. It's a whole thing about listening to the world around you...that everything in the world is musical. From the coughing of somebody in the audience to the whizzing of cars outside.

I get the idea, but I think it's a little too experimental for me. I do like some of his other compositions, though, such as when he put nails between the piano wire.

Yes, Cage is an odd one, but this is a bit different it seems (at least to me). The objective here seems to be "be as quiet as you can be". and they're just acheiving this with more natural sounds, but they create the sounds. I think Cage left it completely to chance most of the time.

My favorite is called "12 radios". Basically, 12 guys with radios walk in a circle around the (small) concert hall, tuning to different stations at random. I thought it was a stupid idea at first, but then I really started to wonder what it would sound like.

Heh, I know that one too. I studied Cage in a music class, and we watched a video of some of his performances. They showed 4:33 and 12 Radios. The performance of 12 Radios was truly bizarre.
