When studying 12 tone in Music History Class (holla to all my back row folks), I mentioned (in one of my few appearances in that class) during a listening of one of the 12 tone pieces that it sounded like a cat walking on a piano. The professor looked at me like I had smacked his mother.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I like John Cage, these 12 tone guys wrote songs that sounded like a cat walking on the piano and thought they were hot shit, Cage would actually write a piece for a cat on piano and think it was funny.

ReplyDeleteDo you guys like Webern? Everybody always talks about Schoenberg or Berg when they talk about 12-tone music, but I think that Webern was actually the most interesting from the second Viennese school. Stravinsky also did 12-tone stuff during the later part of his life that was pretty good.
ReplyDeletePlay him off, Schoenberg Cat.
ReplyDeleteI never really got into the 12 tone stuff, but I always like Webern the most. He seemes the most "musical" of the crowd. Less Math, more music. I would rank Stravinsky way up on my list of favorite composers, but I never dug his 12 tone.
ReplyDelete12 tone reminds me of 2 things, one is Futureman making music from the numbers and the golden ratio, the other is the noise bands. Good 12 tone to me is like a good noise band, it is controlled, musical, and expressive. The composer/performer is controlling the medium, not the medium controlling the person.
