Open this unique picture book and meet John Cage, the pioneering, inspiring composer who believed all sound--from the crash of a slamming door to the whirr of a blender to the whoosh of the wind--was music.
Told in second person and paired with exciting illustrations as innovative as Cage\'s music, here is a picture book--perfect for any budding musician--that celebrates the genius of a nonconfirming musician who always stayed true to his artistic vision..
All you had to do was listen to hear it.
And in no way was it melodic to turn a musician\'s mic on and off as they do play their instruments--it was just chaos! John Cage found sound in silence, and knew that all noises were unique.
They felt that, surely, a pianist on stage must actually play their piano to create music...not just sit there.
But other people disagreed.
For John Cage, Music was everywhere: in the hum of the refrigerator, the screech of a garbage truck, the patter of the rain.
