↳ Song: "Communication 6" by "John Cage"
"This CD presents an audio "record" of the third part of John Cage's lecture at the iconic Darmstadt Summer School in 1958, "Composition as Process". It starts with Cage speaking as persuasively as we are used to – but semi-rhetorically (often using questions) as we are less used – about sound, silence, composition and the physics thereof set in the cultural, social, mystical and personal contexts where Cage believes music exists. In the course of this commentary, Cage introduces the music of Nilsson (Quantitäten in two performances [tr.s 5, 7]) and Wolff (Piano with Preparations [tr.3]) as well as Communication 1 to 6 and Variations I of his own."
