Avant garde composer John Cage (4’33”) wrote out his scores in increasingly eccentric patterns.

“I certainly had no feeling for harmony, and Schoenberg thought that that would make it impossible for me to write music. He said, ‘You’ll come to a wall you won’t be able to get through.’ So I said, ‘I’ll beat my head against that wall.’ ”

—John Cage
