Actually, no. The points are (more or less in the order of importance)
recontextualization of silence, exploration of indeterminacy, and
relinquishing the control over the creative process (which is to some extent
an outgrowth of the second point).
Best wishes,

Again, depends upon the context. John Cage wrote
a famous piece 4'33"
which
is four minutes and 33 seconds of silence in
three movements. How about
buying a CD of that one? Yet, its impact on the contemporary music scene
is
monumental and it is practically impossible to
find a book which
discusses
20th century music without mentioning this work.
IIRC the point of that piece was that the duration was exactly 4'33"
(wow!)
