Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Mode Admin <>]

I agree with Andrew that this is an incredible text. I am surprised that, upon listening to it in recent years, that much of it sounds as if Cage could have written it today (if he were here, of course).

The recording on the Cage/Scheffer/Culver DVD "From Zero" is beautiful and moving from both an audio and visual standpoint – the visuals are from films made at Cage's Stony Point and 6th Avenue & 18th Street New York City surroundings.

I recommend Cage's "Overpopulation and Art" for his beautiful summation on these topics.

A recording is here:  http://archive.org/details/AM_1992_01_28

There is also the film I made with Frank Scheffer which combines a recorded reading with a recording of Ryanji and of course much imagery.

Dear all silencers,

I am searching for more information on John Cage and his opinion about politics, society, education.

Links to text posts, literature or whatever is highly appreciated.

THANKS.

Kind regards,
