It may be "randomly generated" but it's still shockingly listenable. You
don't think that he'd be influential if his compositions turned out to be
unlistenable bollocks, do you? Believe you me, there's no shortage of
composers/sound artists whose actual sound production pales in
relationship to the theory behind it, but Cage ain't one of 'em.
