John Milton Cage Jr. is an American composer, music theorist, artist and philosopher. A pioneer of the indeterminate character in music, electronic music and the non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the postwar pioneer. Critics hailed him as one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. He was also instrumental in the development of modern dance, mainly through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham, who was Cage's romantic partner for most of their lives. Cage is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition 4′33, performed without careful consideration; The musicians presenting the work do nothing but show up for the period indicated by the title. The content of the composition was not the "four minutes and 33 seconds of silence" as is commonly assumed, but the environmental sounds the audience heard during the performance.
