Koch, Anton Lukoszevieze, Lucia Mense and myself will record a double CD at Deutschlandfunk in Cologne, featuring works by James Tenney, Michael Pisaro and young, emerging composers from Los Angeles, California. The album is scheduled to appear early next year on edition wandelweiser records – this, in collaboration with World Edition. The project is entitled, "Cage's Grandchildren" and many of the works received their European premiere earlier this season in Luxembourg. However, we need your support! For that purpose, we have set up a project page at "kickstarter". May I kindly ask that you take a few minutes of your time, peruse our page, watch the lovely video that Anton created and consider making a donation in support of our endeavor? Any amount that you can give helps us to bring this wonderful project into being. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1843883998/cages-grandchildren In recent year</pre> sfjosel< at >snafu.de 2013-05-15T12:27:13 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.john-cage/4688 <pre>Many of you will already know of the recent performance of HPSCHD in New York City. For all you Cage and Hiller fans out there, here's a link to the NY Times review: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/06/arts/music/hpschd-at-eyebeam.html?_r=0 Note the shadowy picture of me and my page turner Chris Mark. There is a lot of other stuff on the Internet about this performance, have a look. I am writing to inquire if anyone on the SILENCE list knows of another harpsichordist who has played Solo VI. I recorded the piece in 1969, and have played Solo VI (as well as Soli I, II and VII) several times, although not in recent years. Until these performances, that is. My understanding is that yes, others have played Solo VI, but I do not know who they are. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I would like to network with folks who have played this piece and discuss the formidable challenges it presents. For the curious — Solo VI takes reiterations of the Mozart Dice Game and inserts a chronological series of </pre> Bruce, Neely 2013-05-13T00:47:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.john-cage/4687 <pre>Ethnomusicologist and friend of John Cage Fredric Lieberman (co-author of the Lou Harrison biography) has just passed away.

I've enjoyed the various articles and chapters on Variations II, especially the ones written by people I know from this list (wonderful work!). I've searched the SILENCE archives, and found remarkably little on Variations II. I'm interested in ideas/examples/etc. of your experiences in realizing Variations II. Our ensemble will likely have 13 - 14 performers for the Spring Quarter, in a fairly balanced mixture of woodwind, brass, strings and three pianists. The students are marvelously open to this genre of experimental music, and I give great thanks to my colleague Jeff Miller, who directs the ensemble, for encouraging their engagement with a wide range of styles. David Miller does a great job of describing his method(s) of realizing this score (see Miller, David P., 2</pre> Tom Bickley 2013-03-26T00:14:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.john-cage/4602 <pre>Hello all, I am currently on the road for an extended period of time and do not have access to my personal library, so I was hoping someone on this list could help out. I recall reading an article by Cage in one of his books that was titled something along the lines of "Where we are going and what we are eating" -- a kind of take-off on his "Where we are going and what are we doing", but about the food they were eating while on the road. Does anyone know the title of that article and what book it's in?

He has a photo attached to his door (he has the best door-stuff) which is from the entrance to the old Cunningham dance studio. The photo is of a list of 'rules' that Cage put up. The one that took me by surprise is the exhortation to go and see as many films (movies) as you possibly can. I never had him down as a film-buff and it's not something I've ever heard mention of before. Does anyone have any further information (favourite films etc)? Hope it's not too flippant a question, Julian </pre> Julian Brooks 2013-01-25T17:09:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.music.john-cage/4541 <pre> Please remove me from this mailing list! Dr. des.
