John Cage is known as the pioneer of sound. His work focuses on how noise can be a perception and a valuable source of sound for music. His early works are compositions of music using found sounds or psyching his audience out into listening to ambience instead of actual music. Later works are things like Empty Words which is drawn from the works of Thoreau to create a tangle of meaningless letters.
