John Cage Indeterminacy X8
I was amused by this selection for two reasons.
1. It ends rudely.
2. It might contain an historical nugget according to the 12-tone wiki. Schoenberg and his school of four musicians used the twelve tone technique exclusively for twenty years after Schoenberg developed it. This would also be the period John Cage studied under him.
The stories may work best as lyrics for experimental music. I don't remember if this video was shown in class. but here Cage reads the stories and musician David Tudor interacts musically.
The stories were read by Cage much faster than what played out in my head. The best example 7:58 - 9:10.
