More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For The Birds is a book, a dialogue and an event all at the same time. What had its origins in a simple but wide-ranging collection of conversations with Daniel Charles becomes under Cage's hands a work for many voices and many subjects. Cage's considerable wit and intelligence covers an astonishing range of subjects; his own explanations and ideas on his compositions and the place of music and sounds in our times. Also mushrooms, chess, James Joyce, Mao, Throeau, Satie, electronic music, Duchamp, the prepared piano, Zen, the environment, technology, politics, economics - all discussed here with an originality and a liveliness which belong to Cage alone.
About the Author
John Cage, a leading figure of the American musical avant-garde and lecturer and writer extraordinary, dedicated himself to the search for new horizons in musical composition. His method of composition: an amalgam of chance operations, latitude in performace, the use of electronic sound and the inclusion of ambient noise. His aim: to increase the territory of his art and to celebrate the richness of life.
