<P> Cage's influence was also acknowledged by rock acts such as Sonic Youth (who performed some of the Number Pieces) and Stereolab (who named a song after Cage), composer and rock and jazz guitarist Frank Zappa, and various noise music artists and bands: indeed, one writer traced the origin of noise music to 4 ′ 33". The development of electronic music was also influenced by Cage: in the mid-1970s Brian Eno's label Obscure Records released works by Cage . Prepared piano, which Cage popularized, is featured heavily on Aphex Twin's 2001 album Drukqs . Cage's work as musicologist helped popularize Erik Satie's music, and his friendship with Abstract expressionist artists such as Robert Rauschenberg helped introduce his ideas into visual art . Cage's ideas also found their way into sound design: for example, Academy Award - winning sound designer Gary Rydstrom cited Cage's work as a major influence . Radiohead undertook a composing and performing collaboration with Cunningham's dance troupe in 2003 because the music - group's leader Thom Yorke considered Cage one of his "all - time art heroes". </P> <P> In 2012, amongst a wide range of American and international centennial celebrations, an eight - day festival was held in Washington DC, with venues found notably more amongst the city's art museums and universities than performance spaces . Earlier in the centennial year, conductor Michael Tilson Thomas presented Cage's Song Books with the San Francisco Symphony at Carnegie Hall in New York . Another celebration came, for instance, in Darmstadt, Germany, which in July 2012 renamed its central station the John Cage Railway Station during the term of its annual new - music courses . At the Ruhrtriennale in Germany, Heiner Goebbels staged a production of Europeras 1 & 2 in a 36,000 sq ft converted factory and commissioned a production of Lecture on Nothing created and performed by Robert Wilson . Jacaranda had four concerts planned in Santa Monica, California, for the centennial week . John Cage Day was the name given to several events held during 2012 to mark the centenary of his birth . </P> <P> A 2012 project was curated by Juraj Kojs to celebrate the centenary of Cage's birth, titled On Silence: Homage to Cage . It consisted of 13 commissioned works created by composers from around the global such as Kasia Glowicka, Adrian Knight and Henry Vega, each being 4 minutes and 33 seconds long in honor of Cage's famous 1952 opus, 4 ′ 33". The program was supported by the Foundation for Emerging Technologies and Arts, Laura Kuhn and the John Cage Trust . </P> <P> In a homage to Cage's dance work, the Bill T. Jones / Arnie Zane Dance Company in July 2012 "performed an engrossing piece called' Story / Time' . It was modeled on Cage's 1958 work' Indeterminacy', in which (Cage and then Jones, respectively,) sat alone onstage, reading aloud...series of one - minute stories (they)'d written . Dancers from Jones's company performed as (Jones) read ." </P>
