John Cage - John Cage album flac

Welcome to the database of John Cage’s Personal Library, which comprises everything found on his bookshelves at the time of his death on August 12, 1992. This library is now housed at the John Cage Trust, and is distinct from the Trust’s own library, which contains mostly works that have been published since its formation in 1993. The John Cage Trust Library, which includes monographs, journals, artists’ books, magazines, derivative texts, and academic writings, contains almost precisely the same number of books: 1,136 to Cage’s 1,126. And while Cage’s Personal Library is static, the John Cage Trust’s continues to grow. Annotations and Keywords. I’ve made the most obvious keyword choices for both topics and individuals; reading each volume for greater precision would have extended our work by many more years.

Cage’s personal library, housed at the John Cage Trust, is a reflection of his wide ranging influences and interests. The library, photographed by James Daubney in the Cage/Cunningham loft, has now been carefully catalogued and can be explored here. Delicous Stumble Digg.

Biography by Michael Rodman. American composer John Cage, among history's most influential artistic innovators, strove to broaden the definition of music and introduced chance operations into the compositional process.

John Milton Cage Jr. (September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992) was an American composer, philosopher, poet, music theorist, artist, printmaker, and amateur mycologist and mushroom collector. A pioneer of chance music, electronic music and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. Critics have lauded him as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century.
