John Cage

Published on: 14th June, 2021

Kim and Luca sit down to discuss the life and work of one of Kim's biggest inspirations - John Cage.

In a conversation as far-reaching as Cage's influence we cover...

Zen Buddhism

Silence

Human cyborgs

His Philosophy on music and art

His relationship with Merce Cunningham

His collaborators including Merce, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Nam June Paik and more.

(And as a special treat for those who make it to the end, we take a peek at some James Joyce's letters to Nora Barnacle.)

About the Podcast

How Not
A Space for Good Troublemakers
How Not is the brainchild of two gobby Scottish creatives, Kim Macari and Luca Manning, who like to talk about the BIG stuff. We thought you might like to listen...So here we are. Our mission is to always be Good Troublemakers, to think big and to ask - How Not?!

Each episode, we pick something BIG to talk about. Sometimes that's an issue or idea that's been keeping us awake at night (like the right to Protest, The Punk Movement or Universal Basic Income...) and sometimes it's a person who think is bold and brilliant - someone worthy of the title Good Troublemaker (like Keith Haring, Marsha P. Johnson or Dererk Jarman...)
