The only work I'm aware of which Cage produced to bring this point home was
4:33 and did he ever "record" it?

There is so much more to Cage than this one piece, which people get so hung
up about.

How about the First Construction in Metal? A minor masterpiece of rhtyhms
and textures *and* he invented a new instrument for it (the water gong).
