I guess for me the impact Cage had, aside from the whole silence thing... 
was his idea that uisng stock sound, much like stock photographry and using 
tape based recording and editing techology, one could create compsitons 
without instruments or musicians in a non-liner fashion, and he predicted 
this would be the wave of music in the future (I think I read this in his 
book silence). It seems in many ways he was right... considering mutlitrack 
software or other performance based softwares using banks of sounds, one can 
create stuff in a non-liner fashion regardless if its "On Tape" or by 
digital means.

Best,
Scott (beeping minidisc) Allison
