There's something to be said for working outside of the musical language that's practically drilled into our brains. 4'33 is a bit odd, but he's got a lot of good stuff if you forget about all of your preconceptions about music.(March 26, 2015 at 6:22 pm)DeadChannel Wrote: My classical world basically consists of Alban Berg (especially his Violin Concerto), Arnold SchoenbergSpeak no more.

I won't argue about Zappa because I'm more into his, like, avant guarde jazz/rock stuff like Hots Rats, sooo...
Anyway, this is from a person who likes noise (Jesus Lizard, Lighting Bolt), drone (Sunn o))), Eliane Randigue) and free jazz (Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane), so we might not agree on everything.
