4’33” (1952)
Probably the best example of Environmental-Ambient Music. Although perceived as four minutes and thirty-three seconds of silence, it is in fact the sounds heard during the “performance” of this three-movement piece that make it so interesting. Silence played a major role in the compositional style of Cage before 4’33” was written, but there is something utterly interesting about it only being silent on the performer’s part.
i’m glad someone described this accurately, for once!
