John Cage (October Files)

John Cage (1912–1992) revolutionized modern music and shaped postwar art with his radical composition practices. Known for his use of chance and silence, Cage pioneered electronic music and unconventional instrument use. This volume traces Cage’s legacy from early critical reactions to contemporary scholarship. Younger scholars have approached his legacy with new perspectives and skepticism. This collection of essays explore the many nuances of Cage and his works, the lasting and profound impact they had on modern and post-modern art.
