Cage and Watazumi Doso Roshi (Watazumido)

Hello Silence Members.
 
I have recently begun to study shakuhachi in a line of players from one Watazumi Doso Roshi, or "Watazumido".  I have heard that he and Cage had at least one meeting where Watazumi discussed with him (and "others") his philosophy of music/sound ("one sound").  I am wondering if anyone has a line on an article, or other resource regarding Cage's relationship with Watazumi.
 
Best Wishes,
Michael

Re: Cage and Watazumi Doso Roshi (Watazumido)

If it helps, this meeting is described by Watazumido-Shuso in the Jeremy Marre documentary "Sukiyaki and Chips."

Please forward

Dear Joseph Zitt,

I wonder if you might be able to post the following announcement to  
the Silence list? I think many readers might be interested in the  
project.

Many thanks,

Ben Piekut

Hello,

I'm writing to let you know about a video project that I've just  
completed, titled "Henry Flynt in New York."  I make no claims about  
my ability as a video-maker (some clips have audio problems), but  
this piece does represent a few years of work on the part of Henry  
Flynt and myself, and we're happy that it's finally finished. Equal  
parts oral history and polemic, the video might be of interest to  
anyone working on the 1960s and 1970s, music and politics, the avant- 
garde, or the sectarian Left. In each of the short scenes, Flynt  
stands in front of an important building or location and recalls one  
or more visits to the site and why it has been important in his own  
life.

"Henry Flynt in New York" totals nearly three hours of video, but  
individual scenes are rarely more than ten minutes long. Although we  
have used a playlist on Youtube to order the clips in a rough  
chronology, viewers are free to click around however they may please.  
The project can be viewed here:

www.youtube.com/benjaminpiekut

I've also created a mirror site at www.vimeo.com/benjaminpiekut,  
where higher-resolution versions of the clips can be found.

This email is the only publicity that we're doing for the video, so  
please forward it to anyone you think might be interested, or even  
link to the clips on your own site if you have one.

Many thanks,

Ben Piekut

In addition to the first recording of Eighty (1992) for winds and  
strings, this release will contain the recorded premiere of Twenty-Six

orchestra. Also included is a yet to be released manifestation, Twenty-

We are seeking (a) radio station(s), able to stream on the internet,

Eight & Twenty-Nine [Eighty-Three] or Twenty-Six with Twenty-Nine  
[Fifty-Five] or both.

Please contact your favorite radio station and ask them to contact me

I haven't dealt with him that much, but after meeting him and exchanging 
a couple of emails with him I had the feeling of being close to a very 
kind and charismatic figure.

This is a very sad news indeed:-(

Re: Fwd: Daniel CHARLES (1935 - 2008)

If you understand french, I just uploaded a lecture given by Daniel  
Charles in Nantes (France)  in 2001. The topic of the lecture was "La  
Poétique de John Cage". Quatuor Hêlios plays simultaneously "But what  
about the noise of crumpling paper which he used to do in order to  
paint the series of "Papiers froisses" or tearing up paper to make  
"Papiers dechires?" Arp was stimulated by water (sea, lake, and  
flowing waters like rivers), forests."
