[silence] Cage and "personal taste"

[Dionisis Boukouvalas]

In a recent post (the Cage-OuLiPo series) I read that Cage changed the 
results according to his taste. Is that true? This sound contrary to his 
want for objectivity, and, exactly, the avoidance of his "personal taste". 
It is a matter of great interest to me, since I am actually working on my 
master thesis where I compare different aleatory approaches. Xenakis for 
one, did change the results according to his taste. Did Cage also do that?

As much as I know, his taste is limited to the desicion of the frame into 
which chance is going to operate. E.g. how many arias / singer in Europera 
3. But did he change things afterwards?
