“If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.” John Cage
John Cage (1912-1992) is an American composer, poet and philosopher. 4’33 is undoubtedly his most famous work, where the goal is for the performer and the audience to listen attentively to the world around them, and above all to silence. His works draw upon the outside world, atmosphere, foreign sounds, and unpredictability. He is considered one of the main avant-garde figures after the Second World War.
