American composer, music theorist, writer and artist John Cage died on this day in 1992 – aged 79.
A pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music and non-standard use of musical instruments, Mr Cage is remembered as one of the most influential composers of the 20th Century.
He passed away from a stroke – after a long battle with poor health.
