The author draws judiciously on extensive library and archive material, and on exclusive interviews and conversations with Cage and many of his friends and associates. Also included are the most comprehensive worklist, discography and bibliography available to date, as well as many previously unpublished photographs. ![]() While never assuming specialist knowledge, this book discusses all of Cage's works in depth and sets them in the context of his compositional, theoretical and personal development.

David Revil maintains that Cage's extraordinary productivity and versatility are best understood in the light of his inner development. It documents his life in unrivalled detail, interweaving a close account of the evolution of his work with an exploration of his aesthetic, political and philosophical ideas. ![]() "The Roaring Silence" is the first full-length biography of Cage.
