John Milton Cage Jr. (September 5, 1912 -- August 12, 1992) was an American composer. A pioneer of chance music, electronic music and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde and the most influential American composer of the 20th century. He was also instrumental in the development of modern dance, mostly through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham, who was also Cage's romantic partner for the most part of the latter's life.
Cage is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition 4′33″, the three movements of which are performed without a single note being played. Although 4′33″ in fact consists of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed this unfortunately takes away the true stillness of the piece, it is frequently erroneously perceived as four minutes, thirty three seconds of silence and has become one of the most controversial compositions of the century. Another famous creation of Cage's is the prepared piano (a piano with its sound altered by placing various objects in the strings), for which he wrote numerous dance-related works and a few concert pieces, the most well-known of which is Sonatas and Interludes (1946--48).
His teachers included Henry Cowell (1933) and Arnold Schoenberg (1933--35), both known for their radical innovations in music, but Cage's major influences lay in various Eastern cultures. Through his studies of Indian philosophy and Zen Buddhism in the late 1940s, Cage came to the idea of chance-controlled music, which he started composing in 1951. The I Ching, an ancient Chinese classic text on chance events, became Cage's standard composition tool for the rest of his life. In a 1957 lecture, Experimental Music, he described music as "a purposeless play" which is "an affirmation of life -- not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we're living".
In addition to his composing, Cage was also a philosopher, writer, artist, printmaker and an avid amateur mycologist and magic mushroom collector.

@shvico7 You have to feel it, not hear it. Think of that time in Hook when Peter Pan can't see his food and he's all "Hey guys, where's my food lol?" and the kids were like "GTFO Peter, it's right here man!!" and then he's all "Hey Rufio, in yer face!!" and then all the sudden it's just like BLAM!!! and he can see the awesome food!! :D

@Zenred you are trying to get a response off me or do you really not get it?

hmmmm i think this is also really clever in a way, because when you see the title you assuming a dance remix of 4'33'', then you thought, oh whats the deal, it's just silent, i'll probably only listening to the acoustic and natural sounds of my room. But when you see the visual effects in the video accompany with the silent, 4'33'' doesn't "sounded" the same suddenly, at least, not in my mind.
If any understand i meant....lol

its not the sound of your room its the sound of silence the same as apreciateing the pure darkness in a cave with the lights off something you take for granted in real life :)
