Russell, Barry - Everything We Do is Music

Explore the music, ideas and ideals of John Cage, composer of 4'33'' and one of the twentieth century’s most original and inventive artists

“Everything we do is music” contains more than 50 fun, hands-on and thought-provoking activities, each taking a work by John Cage as a starting point and exploring the links between music, dance, visual art, poetry and nature

Most projects require no prior knowledge of reading music or playing an instrument and can be worked through with little preparation — each activity encouraging creative thinking and experimentation, exploring the world around us and blurring the boundaries separating life and art
