CAGE DOES CAGE and some site improvements.

If you know sound art, you know John Cage. For those who don't, Cage was an avant-garde composer who practiced a lot of what I focus on... sound for sound's sake, sounds from the non-standard use of musical instruments, noise as art, etc. He is probably most known for his piece 4'33''. To play this piece, performers sit in silence for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. The piece is whatever ambient sound the audience perceives as the performers sit still. Enjoy this performance of 4'33'' by Hollywood darling, Nicolas Cage.

Also, I spent today's lunch break on a few site improvements:

• Deleted "Welcome" homepage (navigating to www.theinfamousdance.com now lands directly on blog)
• Updated blog sidebar with social media buttons (find me EVERYWHERE!)
• Changed "Contact" page to "About" page, added "About" text and social media buttons
• Changed some text that no one will notice but me

And I am thrilled to report that I am once again entirely enthusiastic about this site and my weekly Sunday Sound posts. My creative fire had dwindled to a few pathetic embers, but I have since returned to the full roar. Finally.
