Hi all,

I registered CageCompendium.org and posted the pages that Ed archived just prior to the site shutting down; those pages had updates not seen in the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive version. I modernized the urls, added a chronology page for 1992 and later (chronology_1972-1992.html contained entries as late as 2018), and put a short disclaimer on the home page about this site being a fork of the original.

I plan to add some simple navigational footers and to rip out and replace a ton of bloated Microsoft Word-generated CSS.

Do any of you know of any efforts to get this bibliography into Zotero?

Hi Rob,

I don't know any background to the decision, but in the weeks before it was taken down there was a message on the front page that said "PLEASE NOTE: this website will be discontinued from 1 July 2026. Perhaps it will reappear at some point in the future."

As far as I know it isn't available at another location other than archived copies of the site, e.g. http://web.archive.org/web/20250809174321/https://cagecomp.home.xs4all.nl/.

I made copies of the HTML of the final version of all pages shortly before it was taken down, which I can send you if useful.

all the best,

Ed

Does anyone know what happened to the John Cage compendium? When I go there now I get a 404 message. If someone announced a change of the website address and I missed it, I apologize. Can someone help?

Thanks.
