Here I am with John Cage on Main Street, Hartford, CT preparing for the American Premiere of his 12-hours long Empty Words with sound design by Maryanne Amacher (9/29/81) organized by Real Art Ways (RAW). The performance was broadcast live on the new NPR satellite system & carried by over 20 stations in the US. “This is one of Cage’s most sustained and elaborate moves toward the “demilitarization” of language, in four parts: Part I omits sentences, Part II omits phrases, and Part III omits words. Part IV, which omits syllables, leaves us nothing but a virtual lullaby of letters and sounds.” (John Cage Trust). haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN haPPybIrThdAyJOHN
