Therefore, the orchestra usually a performance of all the grand music instruments play a great melody by the famous composer of the time. To compare with the art work of the classical period, it is the same as the painting of God in a form of human that all elements in picture seem so real and really not about the human but the priority of goddess.

While ‘grand’ called to be a good start of being an artist of any kind, this revolution artist break through that boundary created a new phrase of the history line where art meet the  purpose of being human, get closer to what is a human really be, and how individual human could brought out their expressions to each others. He expressed through his music composing. That is why he create a silent performance where the cough and every move of single person echo in the grand hall, instead of listening to those violins playing, people start to hear what is really happening while the performance is going on, audience sense the space and time that creates this place with this orchestra performance.

John Milton Cage Jr. (September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992) was an American composer, philosopher, poet, music theorist, artist, printmaker,[1] and amateur mycologist and mushroom collector. A pioneer of chance music, electronic music and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. Critics have lauded him as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century. He was also instrumental in the development of modern dance, mostly through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham, who was also Cage's romantic partner for most of their lives.

His teachers included Henry Cowell (1933) and Arnold Schoenberg (1933–35), both known for their radical innovations in music, but Cage's major influences lay in various Eastern cultures. In a 1957 lecture, Experimental Music, he described music as "a purposeless play" which is "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".
