He looks incredibly sure of what he's doing. To the degree that I sat mesmerized, waiting for him to pull some spectacular rabbit out of a hat. He certainly did... something... But it seems to be known only to him. It utterly fails to communicate. It's like when you do impromptu origami. Whatever you create has all the work and feeling of a work of art, but most likely it hasn't been made into any kind of recognizable shape. I'm glad he enjoys what he does - not sure why it's been published.
@yfe24 The radio pushing and hitting was only an improvisation done by Cage because they (assuming you're referencing the performance from "I've Got a Secret") wouldn't allow the radios to be plugged in. Therefore he decided that hitting them would substitute for turning them on, and pushing them for turning them off. The way it is performed here is the way it was meant to be performed.
Music is the organization of sounds in time, and the events in this performance are organized according to their duration in a very strict sequence determined by the composer. Whether you like it or not is another question, but I can't see how it could be considered not music.
Thank you Paul Schuette. The best performance of Water Walk since 1960. Well done. But why the "music" in the beginning and at the end, that's not necessary. Silence is a key ingredient of the music of John Cage.
if Salvador Dali had a soundtrack to go with his paintings, this would be it. Can you imagine how long this dude had to study and practice to get all the steps in, and the timing?
Despite the quality of the original recordings of Cage performing this, I feel like the integrity of his music is till there. I love listening to this work, however I feel like there is a lack of respect for each sound in this interpretation, and it feels very rushed and careless in some of the actions.. :(

Oh, I love John Cage. Beautiful piece! Nice room also...

This is excellent!!
I was mesmerized. This is a great performance.
Very wonderful performance!!
First time I heard this, I wasn't so sure, But now, I'm in awe.
I heard the sounds of a busy cityscape. I liked it... but then again... I'm insane.
Thanks for posting this i have to due HW
Beautiful carnival of timely sounds. Yep, but the radios are missed.
love the background wall
you sir, amused me.
well i think you missed a essential part of the original one: the laughing in the backround
+flo richi I thought the laughter detracted from it.
Shit, you're right

I find the rubber ducky squeaks to be the most essential part of the song

excellent
Nice cover!
Classic!

nice cover.
You satirical genius,you ;)

Though I like most other Cage works I've heard I can't say I've ever enjoyed Water Walk. I can see it might work in surround sound however.
Get some headphones close your eyes and focus on the sounds.
+H.F. Salgado exactly !! but the sound quality is shit !!! that's fucking unfair ! we can't appreciate the music !
What happened with the radio pushing???
Not sure if total non-music
Or the work of a troubled genius
Is it specified that the rubber ducky must be broken?
no! you didn't smash the radios
Alles ganz schön, doch es fehlen die Radios!
Oh yeah, great work! But where's the cadence?!
This is beautiful sounds rather than a music.
Sounds it's Music, because Music is made of Sounds. Think about it... ;-)
How do YOU relate to it?
I wouldn't allow anyone to do that to MY piano!
and you missed the point in Cage's equal treatment of noise/sound/music...
Per il suo compleanno, pubblico "water walk" di Cage.
The organ music at the beginning and end is distracting
How the fuck did I get here

Well done! Horrible audio, though :(
How is this music? Or art, even?
its abstract. its purpose it's to define art itself
Umm... is this supposed to be "music?" Because it certainly doesn't sound like it.
what really is music though?
Organized sound. This is extremely organized.
LOLWHUT
try not to judge
nice sound recording quality............... shit
