Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Rod Stasick <>]

Been away, so just getting to this now...

I'm sure there are other composers who've used something like 

these "time brackets" (myself included, but in the early 70's 

I referred to each as a "chronoflex"), but Cage ingeniously used 

this method as a truly expeditious way of creating works on demand.

In addition to other composer's different uses, it'd be nice to hear, 

as well, their reasons for choosing this method.

I was chatting with fellow silencer and composer Rob Haskins, on the event of the completion of our collaboration composition "Winter Concords", about non-Cage pieces utilizing Time Brackets (ours is an example). We came up with the names of Christian Wolff, Marc Chan, James Tenney and Burkhard Schlothauer.
Could anyone add more names to the list (their compositions or not)?
Eventually, it would most interesting to compare the different uses of this technique by the different composers.
