Mike Batt's 'One minute silence' is a musical joke. It's a much better joke tan 4'33", but mostly because 4'33" got there first. When I first saw the Planets album, the Batt / Cage attribution had me laughing out loud. (and not because of images of vampires behind bars).It seems to me that Cage certainly contributes to the effectiveness of the work.

Perhaps they could come to an agreement based on royalties for the number of notes played ...
