4’33’” - a 3-movement composition by experimental composer John Cage.

4’33” - THE MUSIC. Cage wrote the score instructing performers not to play their instruments during the entire duration of the piece. Though it is often perceived as silence, it is in that context: the sounds of the environment, being that, it becomes music.

4’33” - fx(hash) gentk, you get a flatpack stained glass tea hut. Your tea hut, prefabbed with fixed geometry and fixed color palette straight out of the box.

The code interprets your hash as pertaining to where and how you build this hut. Though it might look like noise or glitch, it is in the context: the light in us colors the shadows, reflections, celebrations of life, and acts in life.

If you listen c a . r . e . f . u . l . l. y you can hear the reverberation, sounds of splendid joy in it.
