We've been pushing a ton of rap and weirdy-tronic, some noise, and other runoff, but In honor of John Cage's 100th birthday, today we present the audio portion of 2sman's video mixtape 4'33 mixtape: The Silent Killer. This silent mix stays true to the intent behind Cage's original work where it's really the sound of the audience and/or recording environment that create and complete the piece. Highlights include Cage's koan intro, Andrew WK's laughing audience, egyptiansushi's sound processing, cash register and customers in the Nabalom Bakery, rappers Das Racist's 4'33" performance, and keyboard cat's silent send-off.
