Sssshhh!

Written in 1952 the first performance of John Cage’s ‘four minutes and thirty three seconds’ caused scandal and outrage. The piece was first showcased at Woodstock and was perfromed by pianist David Tudor, apparently the sound of the trees moving in the wind filled the arena. The duo love the fact that this piece of music is still causing so much controvosy and is still as relevant as it was back then. John cage described his music as “an affirmation of life – not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we’re living”.
