Markets in everything, maybe edition
A press release making the rounds on the web (here and here, for instance) claims that a conceptual artist named Jonathon Keats has made Cage's 4'33" into a ringtone.
Here is more.

This sort of report continues to spread the notion that 4'33" is an aural piece, "about silence". It's not. It's purely visual, about the frustration of our expectations. I've not seen it in the original version for piano, but I have seen it in a 'cello transcription (as an unannounced encore, which added to the audience's confusion). The piano-specific gestures in Cage's original score were replaced by 'cello-specific gestures: raising the bow as if to play, for example.
Perhaps Keats should try making a ringtone from the Mona Lisa next.

Cage was also going for sound too: the sound of the audience. It's postmodern in the sense that the observers are part of the piece. What he was going for was the audience's reactions.

Another thing that is lame about this is that it isn't 4'33" of silence. Ringtones don't go on for that long. Well, I think Cage should sue.

After a day like today that ringtone sounds very appealing.

To paraphrase Stravinsky: Perhaps now we can look forward to similar ringtones of symphonic proportions.

I can only hope that this ringtone becomes trendy.

Well I produced a written version...

Given that ringtones are nowhere near that long, couldn't you just rip off Cage and call it 15" or something like that? Either way, I can't help but admire the audacity to try to distribute this thing, especially when my out-of-date cell phone has had it for years.

A buddy in the San Francisco art scene emails:
"I went to one night exhibition of his a couple months ago. Recognizing how space and land is a premium here in SF, he was selling deeds to plots in the city in higher dimensions...4th, 5th dimensions, etc. He had drawings of hypercubes all around. "
