Hello again Silencers,

I'm looking for a more elegant solution to what some of my groups performing Cage pieces using clock time have been doing. We've just been using kitchen timers or something similar, but it makes a little bit of a theatrical gesture to synchronize those at the top of a piece. 

Does anyone know the technical specifications of the 'video clock' that Cage made use of in the orchestral number pieces? I vaguely remember seeing some kind of red LED clock in a video, but could be imagining things. 

Best,
Jeff
