Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage

I am writing to share the official documentation related to my project Tribute to John Cage, presented as a Special Event at the XV Florence Biennale (Florence, October 2025).
The work continues a long-term visual–sound research path active since the 1990s, drawing on Cage’s concepts of silence, indeterminacy, and audience participation.

As an Academician (Music and Performing Arts Class) at the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence, I have been active since the 1980s in the fields of visual music, software-based generative art, and experimental composition, in continuity with the legacy of Pietro Grossi, with whom I collaborated extensively from 1998 to 2002.

The documentation has been made publicly available and preserved in permanent digital archives for long-term scholarly consultation:

With sincere appreciation for your preservation work,

Sergio Maltagliati
