Episode 1080 | The Sound of Silence: The Story of John Cage

What if the quiet isn't really quiet? Rania,
Carolina, and Saanvi, hosts of the
Exploring Art Podcast, delve into the
unconventional ideas of composer John
Cage, whose work questioned the very
meaning of music, in this
thought-provoking episode. This episode
explores Cage's transformation of
common sounds (and even silence) into
art, from the startling premiere of 4'33" to
his Zen-inspired theories and
ground-breaking inventions like the
prepared piano.
Listen to learn how a bit of silence had a
profound impact on music, how beauty
may be created by chance, and how
Cage's legacy encourages us to listen
with all of our ears.
