John Cage

After having talked to my mentor David he mentioned John Cage and the prepared piano, to which I have came back and done some further research.

John cage was the person who coined the name "prepared piano" and was the person that made it famous. John would add objects into the piano to make alter the pianos sound.



What I find really interesting with this technique is that he is creating an art form of the piano by adding things into it. He has created a visual picture of how the music has been changed. I would love to have a try at this but first... I would need a piano...
