Looks like the Austrian domain suffix (.at) was
omitted

Re: Two papers of Cage 2002: 90/10 just published

Hello Silence,

These links (below, from Clemens) all need a ".at" after "www.8ung"

Had a quick look at the Martin Dixon article. He discusses Cage + 
technology + utopia with plenty of McLuhan (good), some H. Marcuse 
(tenuous) and no mention of R.B.Fuller - a glaring omission, presumably not 
just in the paper but also in the author's research.

At least Mr. Dixon gave it the old college try: I get the impression that 
many music-oriented writers on Cage have trouble with John's social 
thought, at least to the point that they sidestep delving deeply into what 
it meant to John and did to the music. I wonder what the problem is? (James?)

And BTW Utopianism is not gone from current political/social discourse.

Sorry about that! :-(
Yes, of course ".at" was missing! 
Sorry again.

AW: Two papers of Cage 2002: 90/10 just published


Clemens Gresser was too modest.  His review of the anthology _MYTHos Cage_,
edited by Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf is also available at the FZMw website
http://www.8ung.at/fzmw/

I consider this review to be important. The Mahnkopf volume is a
particularly embarrassing example of the state of Cage criticism.  In their
effort to debunk a so-called "Cage Myth", Mahnkopf and his colleagues have
managed, through use of hearsay, cliche, unsupported claims, and a
thorough-going lack of references to actual musical scores or source texts,
to instead perpetuate much of that "Cage Myth" which is the unique domain of
Cage's opponents. Gresser's article is an important corrective and solid
scholarship in its own right.

Three-Dimensional Magazine Lives Again in Two Dimensions
By MATTHEW MIRAPAUL

Published 10 times between 1965 and 1971, Aspen billed itself as the first
three-dimensional magazine. Most issues arrived in a notebook-size box stuffed with
articles that had been printed individually rather than stapled together. But it was the
nature of its contents that made Aspen magazine stand out like a ski lift in a cornfield.
Each issue was as likely to hold postcards, posters and phonograph records as essays. And
among the magazine's 235 contributors were many prominent figures on the 60's cultural
landscape, including Roland Barthes, John Lennon, Marshall McLuhan, Lou Reed and Andy
Warhol. 

Thirty years after Aspen ceased publication, copies of the actual magazines are rarely
found outside museum libraries and dusty flea-market bins. Now, though, Aspen can be
viewed on the Internet, where the three-dimensional magazine has been digitally
reproduced for the two-dimensional computer screen with remarkable verve. The material
was put online last month at Ubu.com/aspen.

Aspen provided a vivid snapshot of its era. The Pop Art issue came in a Warhol-designed
soapbox. Another issue described works by denizens of the Judson Memorial Church gallery,
a mecca of early performance art in New York. The Fluxus issue had conceptual scores by
Philip Glass and Steve Reich and a LaMonte Young recording. Deborah Wye, chief curator of
prints and illustrated books at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, said, "The accuracy

Re: Earle Brown Concerts

For those, like me, who are not in a position to attend, will there be a 
concert recording available?

Streetdance

Dear all,

Through my discography I received the following e-mail from Byron Canney:

Hello,  I pulled-up your website in the hopes of locating an album that I
had in the seventies...I believe was entitled "Streetsong" (may be two
words) by John Cage.  It was delightful, and full of improvisational sounds
(including the glockenspiel as I recall), childrens singing as part of it,
and perhaps German in recording (the title may have been in German too).  I
cannot find even a hint that there ever was such a piece.  Is it possible
that you can help me locate this, or even confirm that John Cage composed
this montage of songs by this title?

Thank you,

Byron Canney  (byroncanney <at> aol.com)

I haven't got a clue what this is, maybe someone else has heard about it???
Thanks and best,
Andre Chaudron
