The Wire this month reviewed a CD with 4 versions of Cage's 4.33. One recorded on a French hillside, one with digital silence, one with a grandfather clock ticking in the background.

soundgarden covered 'one minute of silence' on ultramega OK.

rather, they reinterpreted 'two minutes...' as 'one minute'. lennon still gets the writing creidt though.

There's a silent thing on the second West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band album titled "Anniversary of World War III" or something similar.

― M. Agony Von Bontee (M. Agony Von Bontee), Monday, 18 September 2006 14:53 (twenty years ago)

something from Jony Semper's Kenotaphion 2CD. no more (or less) silent than a proper performance of 4'33".

I think Cage said the piece could be performed with any instrument whatsoever.
