John Milton Cage était un compositeur, poète et plasticien américain, né le 5 septembre 1912 à Los Angeles et décédé le 12 août 1992 à New York.
He left Pomona College early to travel in Europe (1930-31), then studied with Cowell in New York (1933-4) and Schönberg in Los Angeles (1934): his first published compositions, in a rigorous atonal system of his own, date from this period. In 1937 he moved to Seattle to work as a dance accompanist, and there in 1938 he founded a percussion orchestra; his music now concerned with filling units of time with ostinatos (First Construction (in Metal), 1939). He also began to use electronic devices (variable-speed turntables in lmaginary Landscape no.1, 1939) and invented the ‘prepared piano’, placing diverse objects between the strings of a grand piano in order to create an effective percussion orchestra under the control of two hands. He moved to San Francisco in 1939, to Chicago in 1941 and back to New York in 1942, all the time writing music for dance companies (notably for Merce Cunningham), nearly always for prepared piano or percussion ensemble. There were also major concert works for the new instrument: A Book of Music (1944) and Three Dances (1945) for two prepared pianos, and the Sonatas and Interludes (1948) for one.

You can interpret it however you want, but you risk sounding stupid if you interpret it in a stupid manner.

Antimusician a écrit :
Well, anyone can interpret any song on his own way. Cage has his own philosophy about this "composition". I like his quote: "Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue following my death. One need not fear about the future of music." But I disagree with him.

poeq a écrit :
no 4'33" is supposed to be about the bliss that arrives from pure silence. i also personally think that it's the peak of cage's attempt to take humanity and nature out of music. the essence of nothing is in complete contrast to human experience which revolves around sensation, and 4'33" is nothing but the lack of sensation. i mean it's interesting, but people over emphasize it relative to other avant garde compositions.

4'33'' is nice proof that we are living in world contaminated with noise and we really have to pay, not only for music, but for silence too.
