John Cage's 4'33" premiered on August 29, 1952, distilling the composer's philosophical explorations of silence into four minutes, thirty-three seconds of performed, charged silence. Elegantly and provocatively, the piece asked: what does silence sound like? Cage's questions about the nature of silence and sound continue to reverberate decades later; this volume―the most comprehensive on the piece to date―brings together new theoretical writings and artistic works exploring Cage's composition. A wide-ranging list of contributors, contemporary and historical―from Merce Cunningham, David Toop, Dieter Daniels and Brandon LaBelle to Rage Against the Machine―weigh in on Cage's work alongside Cage's original scores and the composer's own subsequent engagements with his most famous piece.
