there appears to be some missing text after the leading quote, i am assuming that it is from Cage.

Ever listened to the various roars of vehicles going by while driving on the highway, or the precise rhythmic, cranking of a copying machine, or a crowd of people laughing, or just the hum of an air conditioner? I think what Cage was doing was trying to get the listener to realize music in areas of life other than the usual mediums. This does not take away from harmonic and melodic music one normally listens to, but add to it. Filmmakers have employed utilizing ordinary noise for effect for years, especially in the noir genre. Just watch Bladerunner, for example.

I've been a drummer, yes a drummer, not a percussionist, ok, a percussionist for over 24 years, and you can believe many of the percussion parts have down time, silence, that leads into a crescendo of musical instruments only to follow with more downtime or bouts of silence. Makes music much more interesting.
