Greetings,
In the new August 2022 issue of Perfect Sound Forever <
https://www.furious.com/perfect/index0822.html>, you'll find (among other things):
JOHN CAGE
What does his silence piece 'mean'?
"Seventy years ago this month--on August 29, 1952--John Cage's signature composition 4'33" was premiered by pianist David Tudor in Woodstock, New York, at the Maverick Concert Hall. Although the initial reception for the piece was hostile, over time it has come to be seen as a key work of the postwar avant-garde not only for its formal audacity, but for the conceptual questions it raised and continues to raise about sound, silence, listening, compositional intention, and what counts or doesn't count as a musical performance."
ANTHONY MOORE
Avant pop- Flying, producing
"We've been doing a series of yearly interviews with the incomparable composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist Anthony Moore whose work goes back to the '70's with Slapp Happy and Henry Cow up through his solo work later that decade. Here, we take up the story in the mid-70's with his production work and his glorious 1979 album "Flying Doesn't Help," which has just been reissued by Drag City."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
