How wonderful of you to use this term. Cage refers to all sound as music, and 
only limits western music to the term "organized sound."  In the world of 
randomness, the only thing that is truely random is the toss of a coin.  So 
the sounds from Cage's 4'33" or any of is other indeterminant works aren't as 
random as one might think.

defending the art still,
