Ya know, I just like the concept itself. Four and a half minutes of silence... I've dreamt of this invention. You put your earphones in your ears, turn on the player and suddenly all noises disappear. And the only thing you can hear is silence. Imagine, you're in the middle of crowded street with this little invention. And you can isolate from the "outside world" simply by pressing the button on your player. Wouldn't that be great?:grin:

Cage's concept, though, was to open up music to include all sounds. The idea of 4'33" and others was to include sounds that the composer did not intend, not to exclude all sounds. Indeed, Cage did not like the whole portable sound system business because it isolates the listener from the world.
This whole 'silence invention' thing is just my pure fantasy, has not much to do with Cage's intentions, which I'm aware of. 4'33" is not all about silence, of course, as some guy was kind to observe, but it also deals with sounds that 'surround' the performance.
