John Cage was an American composer, music theorist, writer, and artist, born on September 5, 1912, and passed away on August 12, 1992. He is recognized as a pioneer of indeterminacy in music, and his unconventional use of musical instruments. Cage significantly influenced post-war avant-garde theater and was noted as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century. His famed work, 4′33″, consists of an intentional absence of sound, prompting listeners to focus on ambient noise. Cage also explored prepared piano techniques and was deeply influenced by Eastern philosophies.
