Indeterminacy in Music ( John Cage )

Hi to all,

I found an interview done with John Cage, very easy to read. Maybe you already know but I hope you enjoy it. He talks about indeterminacy in this interview. Each composer has different perspectives on it as far as i understood. (Cardew, Cage, Stockhausen )

With the shift toward the experimental music period, composers are relinquishing some control of the composition. They create music with the elements of indeterminacy, we can say in some aspect, they are using the chance factor. Thereby, it begins to become so important to what extent the composer generates the randomness and controls the structure.
