John Cage (Fontana Mix)

John Milton Cage was born in Los Angeles September 5th 1912. His father was an innovative inventor and mother a newspaper writer. He studied music at an early age then went on to attend Los Angeles high school but didn’t stay too long as he dropped out to travel and study around Europe, then New York then returned to California to pursue his dream by taking courses in music and studying while being influenced by composer Arnold Schoenberg. But noticed that he had no feeling from hearing harmonic tunes this led his composer to believe that this would never allow John Cage to write music. Arnold Schoenberg described to John that he has come to a wall he won’t be able to pass but John persisted by stating “I’ll beat my head against that wall”. This really represents how determined John cage was to write his own music and just comes to show how music is not about harmonic sound but about the different noises which we hear in our everyday lives.
