Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Herb Levy <>]

Hi all,

I haven't had the time to listen to all of it yet, but y'all may be interested to know of a radio interview with John Cage from 1966 that has recently been uploaded: http://www.krab.fm/KRAB-Programs-Music.html#JohnCage1966

Interviewers were Bill Holcomb who was on the music faculty of U of Washington at the time and Lorenzo Milam, founder of KRAB and several other pioneering community radio stations in the United States.

The same site (indeed, the same page) also includes a recording of a 1966 SF Bay-area recording of a recital by trombonist Stuart Dempster that includes Cage's Solo for sliding trombone, as well as works composed for Dempster by Larry Austin, Luciano Berio, Barney Childs, Robert Erickson, and Pauline Oliveros: http://www.krab.fm/KRAB-Programs-Music.html#SoloTrombone1966

KRAB was an independent listener-supported radio station that broadcast from 1962 until 1984 in Seattle. This web site is slowly making archived recordings from the station available online. I'll try to keep track of recordings that are relevant to the Silence list.
