EXPLORING ART

Episode 1033 | John Cage's controversial work and his life.

02 Apr 2025

Description

Take a closer look into the unique world of John Cage with Silvette, Pablo, and Tum as they dive into the mind of one of the most unconventional composers of the 20th century. Rather than just highlighting pieces like 4’33” and Imaginary Landscape No. 4, this episode explores the deeper layers of Cage’s work—his connection to Zen Buddhism, his views on sound and silence, and how his ideas challenged traditional beliefs about music and meaning. What made silence such a powerful tool in his compositions? How can music without structure or melody still leave an emotional impact—or even push for social change? In this episode, we reflect on how Cage redefined what it means to create and experience art. If you’re into music, philosophy, or just curious about how one person’s ideas can disrupt an entire system, you’ll find something to think about here.
