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.

I'm the biggest Cage fanboy, but the new description up there is a tad pompous, and slightly inaccurate in parts.

Organbook: Then you're entirely missing the point of the piece. It's not some academic essay on theory parading as music. It's a very real work.

Organbook a écrit :
And I forgot to say that Cage's 4'33 I cannot take seriously as MUSIC - there is none on the page. But as an ARTISTIC statement it is as much (or little) a landmark as exhibiting a blank canvas in a gallery.

Organbook a écrit :
Apparently John Cage was not necessarily the first to use chance elements. His friend composer Alan Hovhaness experimented in the 1940s, and Cage was aware of this and may have been influenced. And what about Cowell? This was all 1940s. Our music professor at Berkeley never mentioned this, only how mad Cage was, and how great Copland was.
