Challenging the Boundaries of Music and Noise
In 1960, John Cage, an American composer, made a national television appearance to showcase his latest work. However, instead of using traditional musical instruments, Cage surrounded himself with various household items such as a bathtub, ice cubes, a toy fish, a pressure cooker, a rubber duck, and several radios.
