Its philosophical primogeniture will run the risk of falling into an ephemeral conceptual entropy if the measure of time to face the event is not taken into account, as a result of the pedagogical professional practice in our case. Transiting randomness in works such as Theatre Piece (1960) proposes the sharing of a familiar dialogue of nascent sound practices for every discipline. The sterility that Cage’s pantheistic work has undergone in the last thirty years has made it possible to dismantle the conceptual conflict implied by the dematerialization of the sound fact.
