View submission: John Cage 4’33
I played it on the radio once. There was a Facebook campaign to make it Christmas no.1, the year after Rage Against the Machine got it (Cage against the Machine)
Spoke about it for 5 minutes, about the track, the history, and the impossibility of silence - even in an anechoic chamber (totally soundproof) you can hear your own heartbeat. Then I hit the play button. 20 seconds of dead air later I came back to apologise because the CD player wasn’t working. Played something else.
There's nothing here!
