about

John Cage treated musical form as an “empty container” and in many of his pieces used a structure based on a series of proportionally related sections. The work found here also focuses on the idea of temporal “containers” but instead of enforcing a proportional scheme or macro-rhythm, they allow for a listener-derived form. Sections of equal length but usually varied textures are juxtaposed in time. The reality of temporal space becomes a function of the perceived interestingness of the material at any given moment. Translation: Time flies when you’re having fun...or not.
