#4 John Cage

While Cage is considered the most controversial and most influential composer of his time, I feel that he was controversial. I thought that it was a valid point to talk about the development of recording process, however the development of his music doesn't correct to me. I feel that no one can limit what he does with instruments or the piano however he can't call it music. I feel that Cage was more of a philosopher rather than a musician. He explains how music can be unintentional sounds, however I disagree with his because than every sound every heard is music; that is not the case. To me I feel that Cage was a great thinker and one of the greatest innovators of sound in his time, just not music.
