The Roaring Silence:

John Cage: a Life
Frontcover
4 Rezensionen
Arcade Publ., 1992 - 375 Seiten
John Cage has been described as the most influential composer of the last half of the twentieth century. His work and ideas - about silence, indeterminacy, nonintention, art's role in bringing the everyday object to our attention, the singularity of performance - have had influence not only in the world of music but also in dance, painting, printmaking, video art, and poetry. As an exponent of Zen Buddhism since the early fifties, he has had an important role in introducing Zen spirituality to the American artworld and general culture. Among his friends and collaborators have been longtime associate Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp, Morton Feldman, Pierre Boulez, and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Those who have acknowledged his influence in their work range from minimalist composer Philip Glass to rock musicians David Byrne and Brian Eno. The Roaring Silence is the first full-length biography of John Cage.

The biography includes comprehensive chronologies of his musical and visual works. Arnold Schoenberg once called Cage, his former student, "not a composer but an invent

This book is informative and thorough, but it also seemed quite dry to me. One for fans (like myself), I think. Vollständige Rezension lesen

Review: The Roaring Silence: John Cage: A Life

Nutzerbericht  - Scott Kildall - Goodreads

Basic chronological bio. The first part of his life was revelatory and his turn toward Zen Buddhism in his 40s was where 4:33 and everything else came together. Cage's work continues to inspire, but I wish the author would have stepped outside the traditional bio format. Vollständige Rezension lesen
