But rather than using traditional instruments, Cage appeared surrounded by household clutter, including a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a rubber duck, several radios, and performed “Water Walk.” Most people watching had the same question: is this even music? Hanako Sawada explores the boundaries between music and noise.Lesson by Hanako Sawada, directed by Héloïse Dorsan-Rachet.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/test-yourself-can-you-tell-the-difference-between-music-and-noise-hanako-sawadaDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/test-yourself-can-you-tell-the-difference-between-music-and-noise-hanako-sawada#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.instagram.com/helo.drMusic: https://yessian.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
