John Cage said somewhere (I heard it at ubu.com) that he really dislikes/disliked Glenn Branca. For that reason I compared the slow indeterminacy of Cage with the slow passion (for lack of a better word) of Branca. The two are really different. Which leads me to wonder why or how SY picked up on both of them, especially Cage, since the Branca aesthetic is in their genes (pretty much). I suppose they don't hate on Branca like Cage did. It boggles the mind that the two composers could share the affections of the same group.
