While researching this topic, I came across another artist whom I found very interesting, and to whom my project had similarities. It involved listening to the sounds around us; Hearing the simple sounds that we often miss in the normal day to day running of life. This artist was John Cage. An American composer, one of his works involves a set time of silence, for which the only 'music' produced is the natural sound from the audience and auditorium. This piece of work puts the focus on our surroundings, emphasising the sounds of our surrounding environment.
