John Cage the meaning of sound and music

I'm currently working on sounds and sounds in space and looking at some music masters I found some beautiful inspirations.
'There was a German philosopher, Emmanuel Kant, he said there are two things that dont have to mean anything,one is music and the other is laughter. Dont have to mean anything that is in order to give us very deep pleasure'. John Cage

Runaway by Kanye West

The beauty of this movie is shocking. Each scene has a such a perfection in composition and colors and a very distinguished style. Again Kanye dared what he likes and is not scared of showing something new. I fell in love with it complitely.

Story to Be Told MIA

Again, M.I.A. new video rocks!

XXXO m.i.a.

M.I.A.'s latest single, XXXO with Jay-Z on the remix. Here what she said at BlndMagazine interview that I really loved: 'I think I represent'just do it'.You can come from anywhere and make it. I think a lot of people hold themselves back. Some are to scared to even make that first step...You just have to pass every level of it until u get to a point where u think: I'm just going to fucking do this and not listen to the things that hold me back, like, oh, you dont have the right grades, or you dont have the right training...I'm just saying anything is posible...No one's got the right to say no, because ultimately, it's your life and you're gonna have to live it.'

m.i.a., 'maya'

I got myself a limited edition version of the new M.I.A. album, 'maya'. It features a lenticular slipcase. cool. MTV's Kyle Anderson described the cover as "a typically busy, trippy, disorienting piece of art". the art direction for the album was made by Los Angeles graphic and web designer Aaron Parsons.

Grey Oceans

Since I discovered them I've always been listening to their music. Loved duo artist cocorosie came up with a new album, Grey Oceans. Being themselves is the best thing the Casady sisters do. Love it, of course.

Joanna Newsom - Good Intentions Paving Company

Twenty miles left to the shore
Hello my old country hello
Stars are just beginning to appear
And I have never in my life before been here

And it's my heart, not me, who cannot ply
That base conclusion you may write
Watching me sit here bolt upright and cry
For no good reason at the Eastern sky

And the tilt of this strange nation
And the will to remain for the duration
Waving the flag, feeling it drag
....

And there is hesitation
And it always remains
Concerning you, me,
And the rest of the gang

And in a quiet hour
I feel I see everything
...

Charlotte IRM

Me and Jane Doe is my favourite song of the album, IRM, recorded with Beck and written largely by him from lyrical scraps passed on by her.

I want to be forgotten,
and I don't want to be reminded.
You say "please don't make this harder."
No, I won't yet.
