Jim Hurley 43 Posted February 15, 2019 I read somewhere - and I can't find it now - that the Cage performance was actually televised live on a TV show at one time. But the surprise was that after a certain point, the broadcast was interrupted by an automated alert triggered by the silent interval. Something in the network detected the lack of audio as a signal error. If anyone can verify or find that story I'd be grateful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigb 3,055 Posted February 15, 2019 I've got the tab for Cage's 4:13 if anyone's interested (the lyrics too!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Hurley 43 Posted February 15, 2019 Cage once made or proposed a sound installation where a large room was outfitted with microphones set to the edge of feedback. Nothing else. People and room noises were amplified and set ringing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
