4′33″ (pronounced "four minutes, thirty-three seconds" or just "four thirty-three") is a three-movement composition by American experimental composer John Cage (1912–1992). It was composed in 1952, for any instrument or combination of instruments, and the score instructs performers not to play their instruments during the entire duration of the piece throughout the three movements. The piece consists of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed, although it is commonly perceived as "four minutes thirty-three seconds of silence". The title of the piece refers to the total length in minutes and seconds of a given performance, 4′33″ being the total length of the first public performance. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4′33″)
"They missed the point. There's no such thing as silence. What they thought was silence, because they didn't know how to listen, was full of accidental sounds. You could hear the wind stirring outside during the first movement. During the second, raindrops began pattering the roof, and during the third the people themselves made all kinds of interesting sounds as they talked or walked out." – John Cage, speaking about the premiere of 4′33″
"I can tell you what I speculate and let you know if you use RT 1152-Silence as I think it works, it does respond as expected." – Charlie Fogle, on making Modern Pop music with BIAB
This interpretation of Cage's piece was created in BIAB, using the mystical RealTrack 1152 "Silence" to produce a single block of audio which was exported to Logic and divided into 3 movements of appropriate lengths, like a log. Visual delimitation of movements during playback was provided by SoundCloud's playlist feature.
