John Cage was a giant of American experimental music - composer, writer, and artist. He is most widely known for his 1952 composition "4'33", whose three movements continue to challenge the definition of music by being performed without playing a single note. In questioning fundamental tenets of Western music, Cage was often at the center of controversy, and is regarded as an important contributor to many facets of American culture.
