— John Cage quote no.15 of the EVERYBODY’S CAGE crowd funding campaign. DAY 7!

„I saw that everyone was expressing himself differently and using different way of composing. I deduced that we were in a Tower of Babel situation because no one was understanding anybody else; for instance, I wrote a sad piece and people hearing it laughed. It was certainly pointless to continue in the way, so I determined to stop writing music until I found a better reason than „self-expression“ for doing it. “

John Cage 1979
