Home In general, John Cage which creative thought was generated under the influence of the Zen-Buddhism doctrine, a figure extraordinary interesting and considerable, standing independently in art, out of its modern trends and directions. Its activity has made appreciable impact on music world of the West and, in particular, on electronic music. That being the founder of several currents (the tool theatre which idea has affected further the decision of a problem of ritual of execution in electronic music is characteristic; experiences with "the expanded" tools; widely picked up by the musicians, begun by Kejdzhom ещe in the early forties, search in increase тембровых resources of usual performing tools; Working out of programs for music creation by everyone and a number of other not less interesting ideas) he was not engaged in their perfection, and as though showed possible ways on which musical art could develop, representing another them to develop, itself continuously put forward всe new and unexpected problems which were often realised by it only in one composition (and not always adequately value and the idea).

The Sound is vibration, and on our earth vibrates всe. For this reason on the earth there is no subject which it would be impossible to listen ".
