Wish I could be there; worked with John for years.

The Rest isn't Silence. . . it doesn't exist! or, Spending an Age with Cage

My association with John Cage began on March 30, 1959 with a performance that went into the history books.

I used to video regularly at Cafe Oto. (See my KPFA Website, link below in my signature block.) Alas, I'm no longer easily mobile, and I'm too old and vulnerable to mix in the UK's maskless, careless environment.

Thank you one and all! . . . to family and friends who changed my life.

I celebrated by attending a splendid performance of Hymnkus by Apartment House. I'm in London (for my first time) for their three-night residency at Cafe Oto. Are any of the rest of us also attending? I would love to meet up.

Yes, it’s the 110th year of his birth.

I made my annual chance-derived compiled mix and it's a bit shorter this year: 13m:41.005s.
It’s more of a vertical mix instead of like last year’s more horizontal mix.
Tho the pieces were chosen in this order: 1O1, Five⁵ and Four², the pieces begin
their chance-derived overlap in this order: 1O1, Four² followed by Five⁵ adding up to 110.
It’s quite beautiful … but I’ve thought that every other year as well. LOL!
