4 Minutes and 33 Seconds



In my music class, my professor spoke of a big composer, John Cage. I know most of you watched this saying what a complete waste of time, which is true. Haha but this shows how simple is goood. Anyways he created this peice because he wanted to prove that there is no such thing as silence. The peice is in three movements (tacet, tacet, and tacet). Each movement is made in pure rests. There is no such thing as "complete" silence. If you are alive your heart will always beat which makes a beat or tempo. I think it is genius. He became a millionaire from this peice that he approached with no fear. Pretty damn good.



He might be crazy but I respect his level of bravery.
