Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Hi Rod

How is the Brecht piece? Worth buying the LP for set too?

Looking forward to the "interesting discovery." And good to see you in DC too!

Yes, you're right! It has a 7 and a half minute version of 

Brecht's "Incidental Music" performed by Tudor. I should've 

pointed that out.

I ordered the Shock CDs and the 3-LP "Sonatas and Interludes"

on John's b-day while sitting in the hotel room during the DC festival.

The Shock LP set arrived a week earlier.

It was great to see you in DC!

I'll be dropping you a line in the next couple of days

about an interesting discovery, etc.

Hi Rod

Doesn't the double contain a track that is NOT on the CDs? If so, do you know what it is?
If so it's a nice trick, which I'll have to remember for Mode in the future!

I'm trying to locate these Japanese releases, hopefully through Downtown Music Gallery.

A couple of the nice things about the discs are that
Toshi Ichiyanagi and Yoko Ono play together on
26'55.988" For 2 Pianists & A String Player
and there's the world premier of 0'00."
Other delights, of course.
I'm pretty devoted to the Omega Point label.
I have everything on it.
Careful with the double vinyl version - it's a "best of" selection.

I thought the Buffalo version of Crippled Symmetry
wasn't going to be released for another week or so.
Will get it.

Eyes on those John Cage Shock discs. They don't look like ones for beginners, but of interest to me.

Any opinions about the recent issue of a live record of Feldman's "Crippled Symmetry"? I have the Hat edition of a different recording.

They're excellent! As well as the three-LP special box set of
the Sonatas and Interludes just released.
