Silent Music vs Muted Noise

Hi everyone. I finally found inspiration for writing a blog post and I'm behind on my posts so lets get started.

So my question presides over the concept of Cage's 4:33 and compares it to that of a muted television. Where does the experience begin and what are the differences? Why should there be a difference and what's the objective?

Well going to 4:33, everyone knows it, a song without notes. Compare to the sound of solitude, a muted television, or just sitting in a quiet and sealed room. Ironically these give us two different experiences. We go to the quiet room to escape sound, to evacuate it from the premises to focus on some other task(IE: Reading). Cage on the other hand is using it to draw all of our attention to what we should be hearing, but aren't, to find something greater(theoretically).

So where does the experience start for 4:33? Sitting in a chair? Raising your head? The waiting for the music to start? And the waiting? And the waiting? And the waiting? And the waiting? Once the "song" is completed, where does your mind say "Oh that was interesting, back into the universe we go?" Then you have to ask, where was the worth of the experience? Was it in leaving the "outside world" for 4 minutes and 33 seconds of attuned silence? Was it in the "hearing" of the "song"?
