Answer

The American experimental composer John Cage was profoundly inspired by the French composer Erik Satie, known for his minimalistic and unconventional compositions. Cage was particularly drawn to Satie's innovative use of silence and repetition, which greatly influenced his own works. Cage, like Satie, sought to challenge conventional musical structures and explore the boundaries of sound, silence, and everyday noises, pushing the boundaries of musical expression.
