Reading Response 2

I chose John Cage's "The Future of Music: Credo" because it sounded like a cool article. My friends and I talk about this a lot: the future of music, what will music be like in 10 years? 50 years?

In the article Cage goes into using everyday sounds and noises and making them into instruments using a phonograph to achieve rhythm and harmony. A phonograph is used in film, in the department of sound, to make certain sound effects. Cage talks about how this can be used to make an instrumental piece of music. The instruments being the sound effects themselves.

This article is pretty relates to my currents work in drift 2 because I am trying to make some kind of beat out of the soundwalk I took. I don't have a fancy phonograph to get different pitches and such but using audio programs like audacity and garage band to achieve that.
