"I don't have a waifu, "
This is a lie and I just want to know the truth
Yep, we all have a waifu.

I can do what I want because I hate Cage and everyone related to the New York School.
|
| |

|
| |
You hate Morton Feldman? ok

| |
Yeah.
|
| |

feldman is way better than cage
|

Bah, I can describe Cage and Feldman (I'm not going to include Wolff and Brown because I've barely listened to their music, even if what I listened to wasn't something I liked) as all ideas (bad ideas) with no musical substance, like early Steve Reich with his phasing bullshit, everyone masturbating their "originality", probably because they couldn't make good music with traditional harmony or using serialism to save their lives. And yes, I've listened to Cage's sonatas and interludes (and more than that), no idea how Boulez saw any worth in those things.

I wouldn't say Feldman is much better, just less terrible.

his sense for unorthodox harmonies is actually incredible, however masturbatory the actual compositions might be
|
| |
The only good thing in his late works is that part that is about 10 - 15 minutes long in For Philip Guston that has a fairly normal harmony.

"Steve Reich with his phasing bullshit, everyone masturbating their "originality", probably because they couldn't make good music with traditional harmony"
Like Phillip Glass?
What do you find terrible sbout Feldman exactly?
|
| |
Honestly I don't like Glass as much as I used to anymore (and I never liked him after 1982 anyway, I give him credit for at least making things more entertaining than early Reich but that's about it). I should mention that I think that both Reich and Glass are able to make good music with traditional harmony, that part was only about Cage and Feldman.
Feldman, from what I listened to, of course, has two things that annoy me greatly: his experiments with chance, probably the worst idea of the entire 20th century, and his idea of making sounds independent, making one sound have little to no relation with another, his music has no development (for the most part, at least), it's just things that exist, and he perfectly knew what he was doing (that makes things even worse).
The Something Wild incident is funny though.
