    Series Statement: Music since 1900
    Content: John Cage is best known for his indeterminate music, which leaves a significant level of creative decision-making in the hands of the performer. But how much licence did Cage allow? Martin Iddon's book is the first volume to collect the complete extant correspondence between the composer and pianist David Tudor, one of Cage's most provocative and significant musical collaborators. The book presents their partnership from working together in New York in the early 1950s, through periods on tour in Europe, until the late stages of their work from the 1960s onwards, carried out almost exclusively within the frame of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Tackling the question of how much creative flexibility Tudor was granted, Iddon includes detailed examples of the ways in which Tudor realised Cage's work, especially focusing on Music of Changes to Variations II, to show how composer and pianist influenced one another's methods and styles.

    Edition: Electronic reproduction; Available via World Wide Web
    Series Statement: Dance in video, volume 2
    Content: Variations V reflects the experimentation and spirit of the 1960s — a collaborative, interactive multi-media event with choreographed dance, elaborate mobile decor, variable lighting, multiple film projection, and live-electronic music often activated by the dancers’ movements.Filmed in 1966 at the NDR television studio in Hamburg, Germany, it is historically important as one of the few available films of a Cunningham Dance Company performance from the 1960s and the first commercial release of Variations V. As the dancers performed on stage, their movements interacted with twelve antennas built by Robert Moog and a set of photocells designed by Bell Labs research scientist Billy Klüver in such a way as to trigger the transmission of sounds to a 50-channel mixer whose output was heard from six speakers around the hall. The actual sound sources—a battery of tape recorders and radios—were supervised by Cage, David Tudor and Gordon Mumma. The mise-en-scène was supplemented by a film collage by Stan VanDerBeek that included processed television images by Nam June Paik and footage of the dancers shot by VanDerBeek during rehearsals

    Uniform Title: Ocean (Choreographic work : Cunningham)
    Content: Ocean (1994), one of Merce Cunningham's most ambitious works, was originally conceived by John Cage in 1991 as a dance to be performed in the round, with the audience surrounding the dancers, and the musicians (112 of them) surrounding the audience. Although it was not possible for the two to realize this project at the time, a commission for performances in Brussels and Amsterdam in 1994 later made this grand concept a reality. Cunningham choreographed the work in nineteen sections, using a chance process based on the number of hexagrams in the I Ching-64 that was then doubled for length. This multiplicity of phrases allowed for solos, duets, trios, quartets, and group sections. To accustom the dancers to dancing in the round, Cunningham told them "you have to put yourself on a merry-go-round that keeps turning all the time." Andrew Culver, following Cage's concept, composed Ocean 1-95 for an unamplified orchestra of 122 or 150, to be performed in the round with the aid of video monitors displaying clock time for the musicians' reference. The piece is complemented by David Tudor's Soundings: Ocean Diary, which is performed simultaneously. This electronic composition, scored for four or more musicians, is amplified with two rings of speakers. Marsha Skinner designed unitards in varied colors for all of the dancers as well as iridescent chiffon dresses for the women to don during the course of the dance. Filmmaker and longtime Cunningham collaborator Charles Atlas filmed the last performances of Ocean, held in the Rainbow Quarry in Minnesota, September 2008. Using a five-camera crew, Atlas filmed three performances of this epic production, which he then edited into a single film. Atlas's films stand as the final living record of many of Cunningham's seminal works, and the feature-length Ocean marked his final Cunningham project

    Uniform Title: 4'33" piano no. 1 Sonata
    Content: A tribute to John Cage, on the occasion of the American composer's 100th birthday. John Cage was a composer, a musician, a wordsmith, a poet, a musical philosopher, a Zen Buddhist, a collector of mushrooms. Yet, to enumerate the different fields for which he was passionate about does not suffice to grasp the originality and impact John Cage had on his pairs during the 20th century. He developped an aleatory method of composition, invented the prepared piano (i.e. a piano that has had its sound altered by placing objects onto the strings), explored compositional technics based upon the shifting of rythmical phases, introduced the audience to the sound of silence with his well-known piece 4'33'' ... Allan Miller and Paul Smaczny directed a fascinating documentary which includes interviews with the master, with Cage's friends, musicologists, fellow composers, musicians, along with excerpts from musical performances and miscellaneous archive footages in order to get closer to the incredible personality of the American composer, whose openness to the unexplored and his brilliant creativity still invites us to push back the limits of possibility

    Content: John Cage filmed by Frank Scheffer in a documentary which sums up 10 years of collaboration. From 1982 to 1992 Frank Scheffer worked with John Cage on many different occasions, which resulted in a unique archive of audio-visual material. The material of this Cage-archive consists of interviews, musical performances and images of different locations related to his life and work -- Filmed on 16mm and transferred to Digi-Beta. In all of Scheffer's works related to John Cage he uses the old Chinese method of chance operations based on the I Ching -- as often used by John Cage himself in his compositions. For this new documentary he decided for another approach: instead of using these chance operations he edited the film in the usual way that is based on choice. "I wanted the documentary to be informative and appealing to a bigger audience," said Scheffer
