Composer John Cage broke new ground in 1952 when he presented 4′33″, the “silent” piece that is considered his most famous, controversial and, by his own estimate, important work. The CalArts’ Experimental Music Workshop will explore Cage’s belief that the concept and the experience of silence is one of the fundamental features of the musical experience.
The Workshop will trace the enduring impact of 4′33″ through an artistic lineage that runs from Cage, George Brecht and James Tenney to composers Antoine Beuger, Jürg Frey, and Michael Pisaro, as well as filmmaker Madison Brookshire.
