Ah, but ain't it more fun to just randomly try stuff and hear what you get? Half of "The Wild Bull" by Subotnick was experiments that he liked and saved. Looks like he got the thread about 2/3rds into it. My own prepared piano was fun times--random and recorded. My quarter tone synth stuff is fun too, random and recorded -- after all, even music we know is different each time because WE are different listeners than we were yesterday.

Cage was not just interested in getting a certain sound, he was about curating objects within his immediate field and showing that everything is music... so in that sense he would still be interested in "using nails"

The genre is Prepared piano , and if im not mistaken john cage was asked to write a piece for an africsn culture ? And they wanted drums and stuff in the piece but the room they were in didn't have enough space so he stuck erasers , screws little plastic things that you can have on bread onto the piano and made diffrent sounds which wad never dont before. And thats how Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano was made. Yall i just remember from Music Appriciation lol
