this is my tribute to John Cage, born one hundred years ago today, Sept. 5, 2012.

It uses short samples of two tracks, Experiences No. 1 and Experiences No. 2 off of <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Jan-Steele-John-Cage-Voices-And-Instruments/release/349087">Obscure No. 5 - Jan Steele / John Cage</a>
a record i bought by accident in my early teens and ended up listening to more than is probably healthy.

No. 1 is piano, Cage's own re-imagining of Satie, if i am not mistaken. (performed by Richard Bernas)
No. 2 is voice, Robert Wyatt singing a text by E. E. Cummings.

(No. 2 in particular probably can't be beat. Cage, Wyatt, Cummings and Brian Eno are involved – I can't really imagine a way to top that.)

Seventy-three is the 21st prime number. The previous is seventy-one, with which it comprises the 8th twin prime. It is also a permutable prime with thirty-seven. 73 is a star number.

73 is the largest minimal Primitive root in the first 100000 primes. In other words, if p is one of the first 100000 primes, then at least one of the primes 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ..., 73 is a primitive root modulo p.

73 is the smallest prime congruent to 1 modulo 24.

73 is an emirp.

The mirror of 73, the 21st prime number, 37, is the 12th prime number. The number 21 includes factors 7 and 3. The number 21 in binary is 10101 and Seventy-three in binary, 1001001, both are a palindrome. In addition, of the 7 binary digits representing 73, there are 3 ones. Also, 37+12=49 (seven squared) and 73+21=94=47×2, 47+2 also being equal to seven squared. Additionally, both 73 and its mirror, 37, are primes twice over, as 31, 43, 67 and 79 are all prime numbers.

Every positive integer can be written as the sum of 73 or fewer sixth powers (see Waring's problem).

In base 5, the smallest prime with a composite sum of digits is 73.

73 is the only prime repunit in base 8 (1118).

73 is the smallest factor of the first composite generalized Fermat number in base 10 (104+1 = 10,001 = 73×137).
