“Where suspicion fills the air and holds scholars in line for fear of their jobs, there can be no exercise of the free intellect. Supineness and dogmatism take the place of inquiry. A problem can no longer be pursued to its edges. Fear stalks the classroom. The teacher is no longer a stimulant to adventurous thinking; she becomes instead a pipe line for safe and sound information. A deadening dogma takes the place of free inquiry. Instruction tends to become sterile; pursuit of knowledge is discouraged; discussion often leaves off where it should begin.” ThinkingShouldProblemJobsFearSoundLinesTeacherAirInformationExerciseSafeEdgesIntellectPursuitDiscussionInstructionClassroomScholarDogmaSuspicionInquiryDiscouragedPursuedPipeAdventurousStalkingPursuit Of KnowledgeDogmatismStimulantsSafe And Sound Author:William O.

“Percussion music is revolution. Sound and rhythm have too long been submissive to the restrictions of nineteenth century music. Today we are fighting for their emancipation. Tomorrow, with electronic music in our ears, we will hear freedom. At the present stage of revolution, a healthy lawlessness is warranted. Experiment must necessarily be carried on by hitting anything-tin pans, rice bowls, iron pipes-anything we can lay our hands on. Not only hitting, but rubbing, scraping, making sound in every possible way...What we can't do ourselves will be done by machines which we will invent.” WayLongDoneHandsTodayFightingSoundMusicCenturyStageRevolutionTomorrowHealthyMusic IsMachinesEarsLaysExperimentsRhythmIronHittingBowlsRestrictionRicePipeNineteenth CenturyEmancipationTinSubmissiveElectronic MusicLawlessnessPercussionScraping Author:John Cage
