#1043: John Cage: City Circus, Program 1
For this New Sounds, hear music from the radical, innovative, mischievous, inventive, and influential John Cage, the notorious sound-experimenter, subscriber to chance, mycology aficionado, and player of chess. He would have been 100 years old today. Listen to one of his pieces that creates space and stasis, “In a Landscape,” from a 1991 in-studio performance by Margaret Leng-Tan.
Plus, hear John Cage himself, in a 1991 live concert recording, then Cage’s voice layered with other treatments from sound artist Noah Creshevsky. There’s also poetry dedicated to John Cage that morphs into something resembling binary song. That, and more.
