What might Cage be up to? According to this experiment, how might he define 'music'?


Some helpful things to keep in mind as you make and write--I will evaluate your work with the following in mind:
  •  Did you choose a medium, identify a fundamental element of that medium, and produce a creative work that both conceptually and artistically engages with that element of the medium?
  • Did you provide an artist's statement that explains (1) your decision to explore a certain element of the medium and (2) how your piece creatively engages in that exploration? 
  • Did you consider (as mentioned in the assignment description) how your project functions to celebrate, comment on or critique the chosen medium.
  • Did your creative project reflect thoughtfulness (in regards to form and content) and originality? Did your artist's statement meet the requirements as described in the syllabus, including articulating a clear, unified, critical reflection on your engagement with this assignment?
