4'33"
by John Cage & Wayne Marshall
Representing a specific 1991 performance by pianist Wayne Marshall, this release captures John Cage's most notorious and philosophically challenging avant-garde composition. The score instructs the performer to remain entirely silent for four minutes and thirty-three seconds, forcing the audience to listen to the ambient, environmental noise of the room. It radically questioned the foundational definition of music and the very concept of silence.
