TRIPLE CANOPY IN TEXAS WILL SOUND A LOT LIKE THIS.

On April 9, editor Alexander Provan is on a panel at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; and on April 10, he joins Peter J. Russo and William S. Smith in a classroom at Southern Methodist University.

Kaneda: At that time, did you already have the perception that Group Ongaku was engaged in something very innovative?

Tone: Yes. We really did! We thought everyone in the music world was a bunch of old fogeys. You know, the phrase “John Cage shock” was hogwash they made up. On the other hand, there was a man named Hewell Tircuit who wrote a music column for the Japan Times. I think he still lives in Japan. He said what Cage was doing was something that had been developing in Japan for quite a while, and I’m sure he was making a veiled reference to Group Ongaku. So, the whole notion of “John Cage shock” was a fiction! Cage’s music and ideas weren’t such a shock—Japanese people accepted them with relative ease. After all, Cage himself said that Japan was the first country to recognize and understand what he was doing.
