JOHN CAGE

John Milton Cage Jr. (September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992) was an American composer. He was a pioneer of chance music, non-standard use of musical instruments, and electronic music. He is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition 4'33", whose three movements are performed without a single note being played. Though he remains a controversial figure, he is generally regarded as one of the most important composers of his era. [1]
