Today is No Music Day - will you be observing or not?
I had actually forgotten about this entirely, but it might possibly explain why I left my good set of headphones at Corsica Studios on Sunday, and so absently put on a malfunctioning spare set this morning. Perhaps I'm having right-stereo channel music day today.
Anyhow, the NMD website says: There are as many reasons for marking No Music Day as there are people willing to observe it - or reject it ... No Music Day has nothing to sell. There is no mission statement.
So is this an empty statement signifying anything very much? What's your take on it? Open-ended protest at... something or other? Celebratory rest from the tyranny of the beat and melody's pernicious enslavement?
Also, given that John Cage said "You don't have to call it music if the term offends you" - should one stop listening to the more amusical works of Cage et al for the day?
So many questions... |
