Question

6. Hadero explains how she “remixed” Cage’s piece after hearing the distinct sounds of a rolling cooking pan lid. Provide at least three examples of everyday sounds that you can identify in your own life.

Answer 1

Three examples would be the sound of the tennis ball being hit, the sound the keyboard makes when I am typing something, and the sound of cars passing at high speeds.

Answer 2

Ethiopian-American singer Meklit Hadero remixed John Cage's composition "4' 33''," which is created with no musical notes - just the sounds the audience can perceive at the performance.

Examples of everyday sounds are the following:

1. The sounds of vehicles going past in the street.
2. The sound of the electric kettle heating water for tea in the morning.
3. The sound of rain and thunderstorm, especially in the stillness of the night.
