Silence: Lectures and Writings
John Cage
Wesleyan University Press
1961
One of the key figures of the American post-war avant-garde, Cage constantly sought to push back the boundaries of music and his influence is still felt today. He developed composition methods that revolved around chance and indeterminacy, electronic sounds, the unconventional use of musical instruments and the inclusion of ambient noise. His most famous composition,
4’33”, consists of nothing more than the environmental sound of the auditorium as the musicians remain silent on stage.
