John Milton Cage (September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992) was an American experimental music composer, writer and visual artist. He is most commonly known for his 1952 composition 4'33" whose three movements are performed without playing a single note.

Oh, John Cage. He's been plagiarised a lot.

(He made a lot of money when some radio station stopped emitting music anymore, and because they then played 4'33" without his permission he got the $$$, or so I've heard)

That'll be a long (and not to mention expensive) live album then.
