Today we learned a lot about sound and music, and it was really interesting and challenging. The whole shape sounds, or whatever, I really just don't understand. I know how to read music pretty well, and from the little example we got I dont see much difference between western notes and shape notes. I would like to maybe look at it a little more to understand it better, but I think regular notes are just as easy to learn if you learn them the right way, like the sound of music song. You learn how the notes sound, then just attach a word to that sound, so Do Fa la So, replace with words and you have a song.
The Cage music i also found extremely weird and hard to understand. It all just goes over my head. Like I said in my previous reflection, i always try to find rhythm and melody within sounds, so I just dont like the randomness of Cage
Also, i think his scores are insanely complicated and I dont understand them. However, I do appreciate them and think it is amazing that someone could think in that way and actually break out of what is embedded in our head and compose something so completely different and unique
