John Cage said that being a composer is just the easiest way for him to cope with reality. it's nothing special. he just found his easiest way. we can suspect that probably he would like to stick to not even just intonation but just listening. well, he couldn't. he had to compose his impossible states of events but maybe it wasn't so mere as many can think. he didn't like improvisers as a slaves of their competence to play. Improvisers are close to just intonation and their are not so far away from just listening. they just should stop playing music and many of them does it. but if they like to play, why should anyone forbidden. it can be really nice. where was John Cage with his concepts? probably he tried to escape from being made or being controlled just like improvisers with their non-idiomatic way of playing. you just play what you are. so what is the difference anyway? isn't it just something like to show the condition of XX century art as imposible? as a slavery of the market, of the money, of the technology, of the media? I don't know for sure. but i know that in ancient times there were guys who were telling about uselessness of music, about emptiness of music, about its hypnotic power to make people stupid, as a result of excess. something went wrong and people started to use their powers for nothing, for self amusement and time wasting, time counting. music is so often connected with mathematics and phisics. it surely has much in common with them. even scientific method rule number one is just to observe. observe with all senses you have. the less is your impact on things you observe, the biggest will be your knowledge. the same was with budda and other meditators. do nothing. observe. so what new we obtain after our short examination?
nothing
