from the article: Conceived around 1947–1948, while the composer was working on Sonatas and Interludes,[2] 4′33″ became for Cage the epitome of his idea that any sounds constitute, or may constitute, music.
This coincides with my theory that EVERYTHING in life is art. it all has to do with the perspective of the perceiver. I like the idea as a joke but in action probably wouldn't be as awesome unless there were some sweet easter eggs you'd have to turn up your headphones to hear. maybe the sound of dan mowing the lawn outside or fighting with a door to door salesman.
