[silence] YouTube - John Cage - 4'33"

[Ralph Lichtensteiger]

thanks Mark,

yes, the Rahsaan Roland Kirk link, love his multi-instrumental sound  
pieces...  the YouTube "Sound" (1966-67), Pt. 1 piece is wonderful...

PLOT DESCRIPTION
Dick Fontaine directs the half-hour black-and-white film Sound,  
originally recorded in 1967 and released on video from Rhapsody  
Films. Footage of experimental composer John Cage is intercut with  
footage of avant-garde jazz multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland  
Kirk. Kirk is shown in performance playing his signature three saxes  
at once. Eventually he hands out whistles to the audience. Meanwhile,  
Cage works on a musical bicycle with pianist David Tudor and  
choreographer Merce Cunningham. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

"Although Rahsaan Roland Kirk and John Cage never actually meet in  
this film (Cage's enigmatic questions about sound are intercut with  
some of Kirk's more ambitious experiments with it) these two very  
different musical iconoclasts share a similar vision of the boundless  
possibilities of music (...)"
