Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[David Bellows <>]

Has anyone looked into Pauline Oliveros's account? Cage visited the
anechoic chamber some 40 years before he died. Would the conditions
that lead to his stroke been so easily observable to him then? In
other words would it have been more likely that he would have had that
stroke much earlier than he did if he really was hearing what Oliveros
is saying here?

In any case I hadn't heard that before and it is very interesting,
thanks for sharing!
