What if there was music in silence? In this episode,
we look at John Cage's divisive piece 4'33" and the
bold idea that music exists everywhere, even in
silence. When there is no sound to play, is the
performer still necessary? Listen as we examine
Cage's beliefs, the impact of Zen, and the enduring
significance of one of the most contentious pieces of
contemporary music. Come along as we explore the
limits of art, performance, and philosophy.
