  • No Such Thing as Silence: "John Cage's 4'33"

    Kyle GannBOOKNo Such Thing as Silence2017

A meditation on the act of listening and the nature of performance, Cage’s controversial piece became the iconic statement of the meaning of silence in art and is a landmark work of American music. In this book, Kyle Gan…

  • Outside the Feedback Loop: A Nancarrow Keynote Address

    Open AccessKyle GannARTICLEMusic Theory Online2014

    1] There is a point in an artist's life, I think, when quality of lifestyle begins to be more important than career issues. Conlon Nancarrow was not a great model for a composing career, but he was a great model for a life. My last visit to Conlon was in 1993, when he was 80, and the previous week he had been visited by a German film crew that was making a documentary about him. He was still complaining about how much of his time they had taken u…

  • A statement on free improvisation

    Kyle GannARTICLEContemporary Music Review1994

    Influenced by the rhythmic structures of John Cage and the continuously articulated beat of rock, many of Manhattan's Downtown composers are turning toward rhythmic structures based on or implying a simultaneous multiplicity of tempos. Among those born in the 1950s, Rhys Chatham has created melodies from repeated notes with different durations; Mikel Rouse bases his music on Schillinger's “interference of monomial periodicities”; Michael Gordon p…
