<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Published on the occasion of the exhibition Sounds like silence: John Cage, 4'33'': silence today: 1912, 1952, 2012, Aug. 25, 2012-Jan. 6, 2013, Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV), Dortmund, Germany.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>John Cage's (1912-92) <i>4'33</i> premiered on August 29, 1952, distilling the composer's philosophical explorations of silence into four minutes, thirty-three seconds of performed, charged silence. Elegantly, provocatively, the piece asked: what does silence sound like?</p><p>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 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.</p>
