I was thinking about this video I saw on youtube of John Cage talking about his music.He said that he was interested in sounds, like the sound of traffic down the road and so on.Those sounds don't tell a story.While other music is focused on telling you a story (a romance or a tragedy or emotions in general) John Cage's one is just there to excised.Like an object.Doesn't tell a story.
I thought it was a really nice concept.I thought straight away about Bach, his music doesn't tell a story either.It's almost mathematical.No landscape, you can see almost the DNA spinning.
Well it was cute to see J. Cage telling us about him not wanting to tell a story with his music.
We are storyteller, no matter what.
You don't want to tell it?...well you can't resist to tell someone you don't want to tell a secret.
No matter what there's something that cannot be erased in us.
Our nature.
I don't have anything to say but I want to say it anyway.
That's what pubs are for.
Instead there's a girl in a room and a man talking.
Paris, Texas.
