I enjoy reading Cage a lot more than listening to his music (for that matter, he was fine with not being called a musician if people deemed his work not worthy of that, I can’t recall exactly but I believe sound architect is the alternative job description he proposed). I don’t relate to most of his music but I do think he was on an honest quest for something. In fact, I think it could even be fair to say he was a philosopher using sound as his medium, instead of a musician.
