“Inspired by Zen, the avant-garde composer John Cage shocked the music world in 1952 when he composed a piece that entailed just sitting in silence at a piano or other instrument(s) without playing a single note for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. He wanted the audience to hear the music that is going on around us all the time.” ZenJohn Cage Book:Zen Pathways: An Introduction to the Philosophy and Practice of Zen Buddhism Source: Zen Pathways: An Introduction to the Philosophy and Practice of Zen Buddhism
