I don't quite know how I would react to John Cage's piece 4'33. If someone were to get up on stage and just sit at the piano without playing anything, I would most likely think that something wrong had happened. When I finally caught on I think I would be uncomfortable; sitting in the stuffy concert hall with people looking around not knowing what to expect. But I think John Cage wanted this kind of reaction. He wanted people to feel uncomfortable and force themselves to listen to the sounds around them; that was his piece. I don't know if I would exactly call that music, but hey, it sure is something.

I know that different objects have a certain resonant frequency. I was wondering if what my sevcenth grade science teacher is true. He said some guy who lived in an apartment hated his neighbor who lived upstairs because he made so much noise. In order to get back at this neighbor, the guy found out the resonant frequency of a human colon, turned his speakers to this frequency, and pointed them towards the ceiling. Is this really possible? Can you make someone defecate on command just by using sound? Because if you can, resonant frequencies just took on a whole new dimension in my mind.
