John Cage Book order
September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992
John Cage was an American composer and philosopher, renowned as a pioneer of chance music and electronic music. His innovative approach to music and the use of unconventional sound sources established him as one of the most influential figures of the postwar avant-garde. Cage explored experimentation in music, incorporating principles from Eastern philosophies and chance, thereby challenging traditional perceptions of music. His work '4′33″' and the concept of the 'prepared piano' left an indelible mark on modern classical music, influencing the very perception of sound and silence.
