John Cage - Radio Music - Music & Performance - CD
Product information for John Cage - Radio Music - Music & Performance - CD
Jean-Hervé Zappi and Steve Pittis recorded their interpretations of Radio Music independently in 2007 and 2010. They all felt it important to keep to the score as much as possible given the obvious ambiguities of having to adapt it from Cage s original 1956 score. These recordings were released as a 10 vinyl EP and sold out instantly so here they are on CD format with some extras. During lockdown it was obviously impossible to get together and perform so an ensemble version culled from our takes has been mixed and is included here. Also included is a version of 4 33 recorded live at the ampitheatre in Pompeii. This is a bonus track as it s obviously not part of the Radio Music sessions. For this reason it is presented on the sleeve as a penalty track in anticipation of the inevitable criticism it will encourage.
