- Summary:
- This release is the first complete recording of all of Cage's works for organ, plus 4'33. The organ is ideally suited to Cage's aesthetic - its multitude of stops make it the ultimate prepared instrument. The fact that sound emanates from a number of pipes placed at discrete locations in space nicely accords with Cage's idea of the separation of sounds in space. And it represents vast possibilities that could be released as sound through the use of chance operations. For this reason Cage's organ music occupies a small but quite important place within his output.
