Test yourself: Can you tell the difference between music and noise? - Hanako Sawada
In 1960, American composer John Cage made an appearance on national television to showcase his latest work. Instead of using traditional musical instruments, Cage surrounded himself with everyday objects found in a household, such as a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a pressure cooker, a rubber duck, and several radios. Armed with these unconventional tools and a stopwatch, he performed a piece called "Water Walk" with a serious expression and remarkable precision. The audience's reactions varied, with some finding the performance humorous and others considering it utterly absurd. The prevailing question on most viewers' minds was whether this could even be classified as music. Answering this question proves to be more challenging than expected, as our perception of music often relies on our preconceived expectations.
