>'The Sound of Silence' may have prompted engaging harmonies from Simon and
>Garfunkel - but a more literal appreciation of the absence of noise has
>prompted one of the more curious copyright disputes of modern times.
>
>Mike Batt, the man behind the Wombles and Vanessa Mae, has put a silent
>60-second track on the album of his latest classical chart-topping
>protÈgÈs, the Planets. This has enraged representatives of the
>avant-garde, experimentalist composer John Cage, who died in 1992. The
>silence on his group's album clearly sounds uncannily like 4'33", the
>silence composed by Cage in his prime.
>
>Batt said last night: "I've received a letter on behalf of John Cage's
>music publishers. I was in hysterics when I read their letter.
>
>"As my mother said when I told her, 'which part of the silence are they
>claiming you nicked?'. They say they are claiming copyright on a piece of
>mine called 'One Minute's Silence' on the Planets' album, which I credit
>Batt/Cage just for a laugh. But my silence is original silence, not a
>quotation from his silence."
