John Cage

John Cage was born in Los Angeles in 1912. He attended Pomona College, but left to live in Paris, where he studied painting and music composition. In the early 1930s, he returned to California, where he worked as a musical accompanist for dance performances and studied with Arnold Shoenberg, an influential modernist music theorist and composer who was based at the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1942, Cage moved to New York where he remained for the rest of his life.

what it means to be avant-garde [excerpt]

            and i was thinking about this while i was flying
 toward iowa and thinking about how everyone was going to be
trying to locate the avant-garde      and about how almost
 everyone was going to agree that it would involve either
shocking or making it new      and and that i was supposed to be
 talking about this too      and i realized i was going to be
  confused      because practically every role classically
attributed to the avant-garde has been preempted by something
 else      and i reflected that i myself have never really had
a clear image of what it was to be avant-ga
