What is silence?
After few years of music composition and noise experiments John Cage made the piece 4'33'.
The piece is 4 minutes and 33 second of silence.
John Cage arrive to the conclusion that is more important what happen around the performance - with all the non intentional sounds - than the composition itself. In this case john Cage defines the silence as the absence of composition, shifting the production of music from the physical expression to that of the natural sound produced by the surrounding.
